About Herbert Smith Freehills

We are a leading international law firm with a global team of over 5,000 professionals. As the market leader in Australia, we are committed to high performance, collaboration, diversity, and digital innovation. We are client-centred, commercially driven, and renowned for our solution-focused expertise.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Corporate Tax Lawyer at the Solicitor or Senior Associate level to join our leading Band 1 and award-winning corporate team to be based in Sydney.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our expanding Sydney Tax practice where you will be working with Partner, James Pettigrew and other leading Tax Partners, as well as lawyers across our national Tax practice.

Your day could typically involve:

  • Advising clients on tax implications of transactions and investments across our corporate, funds, energy, and resources and property clients and HSF groups;
  • Negotiating with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) when required;
  • You may be advising clients on a range of corporate tax law from corporate reorganisations, trusts, initial public offerings, secondary offerings, spin-offs, joint ventures, employee share schemes, and executive remuneration, through to partnerships;
  • While your focus will be on corporate-related work, you will form part of a broad tax offering spanning the Corporate, Finance, and Disputes practice groups, and will work closely with your tax colleagues in Australia and internationally;
  • The role will not encompass tax compliance work.

To be successful in this role, you will:

  • Have an unrestricted Australian or New Zealand practicing certificate;
  • 3+ years' experience across a range of corporate tax matters (international tax, M&A, or corporate tax) in a top-tier or mid-tier private practice, top-tier accounting firm, or large corporate;
  • Possess an excellent academic record, ideally including a Masters in Taxation;
  • Deliver work to a high standard and with strong attention to detail;
  • Be accustomed to working to tight timeframes, in both a collaborative and autonomous manner;
  • For SAs, an enjoyment for supervising and mentoring junior solicitors;
  • Be curious about clients and the desire to build strong relationships to foster business growth;
  • Be committed to providing an exceptional experience for our clients, prioritising empathy, simplicity, and commerciality.

What you can expect from us:

  • We're a world-leading international law firm with a global team of over 5,000 professionals. As the market leader in Australia, we are committed to high performance, collaboration, diversity, and digital innovation. We are client-centred, commercially driven, and renowned for our solution-focused expertise. We will align your growth with our ambitions.
  • We make your personal and professional growth our business. And as part of the team, our ambition is yours too. Wherever you are in your career: grow and help the firm grow with you.
  • We will provide opportunities to learn on the job as well as a mix of learning opportunities tailored to you. Daily experiences, supportive challenges, team collaboration, mentors, and structured learning opportunities help you to expand your knowledge and reach your goals.
  • We value your wellbeing, both at home and work, and we place a strong emphasis on mental health. If you need support, you'll have it, and we'll empower you to harness your personal strengths, navigate uncertainty, embrace opportunities, and effectively manage things within your control.
  • For more benefits on offer, such as our 26 weeks paid parental leave, holistic wellbeing fund, or home office allowance, please visit our website.

Join us to be part of a human, bold, and outstanding team at Australia's market-leading law firm.

We encourage applications from individuals of diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to First Nations, LGBTIQA+, and neurodivergent individuals, as well as individuals of all ages, cultures, genders, and abilities.
