We recognise that the success of our business and our clients relies on the skills, knowledge and ideas of all our people. Our environment is one in which high performance is expected, in return, we will provide you with rewards and opportunities tailored to your personal and professional goals.


The Opportunity

We are seeking a Solicitor (4+PQE) or Senior Associate to join our leading Band 1 and award-winning corporate team.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our growing Sydney team and work closely with Partner, James Pettigrew and our other leading Tax Partners and lawyers across our national Tax practice. Our Tax team focusses on general corporate matters, mergers and acquisitions, funds, energy, resources and property taxation matters.


You will undertake a range of corporate tax work that supports national and international clients on complex commercial transactions.

Typical responsibilities include:

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:

Have an unrestricted Australian or New Zealand practicing certificate with 4 years or more experience working on a range of corporate tax matters from the international tax, M&A or corporate tax areas of a top-tier or mid-tier private practice, top-tier accounting firm or large corporate.

An excellent academic record, ideally including a Masters in Taxation, and a high level of attention to detail.

Proven experience in successfully supervising and mentoring junior solicitors.

A proactive approach and desire to be an integral member of, and contributor to, our leading and supportive team.

An ability to work to tight timeframes, collaboratively and, at times, autonomously.

A curiosity about clients, and corporate and commercial tax law and transactions, and the desire to continue to learn and develop strong client relationships.

An eagerness to create an exceptional experience for our clients and value empathy, simplicity and commerciality as we do.

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.
