Corporate & Transactional Tax Attorney

Our client is a long-established US law firm in the middle of a significant national expansion, advising closely held and family-owned businesses, private equity and real estate sponsors, funds, emerging growth companies and public corporates across the full business life cycle. Tax sits at the centre of that work rather than at the edge of it, and following continued growth they are looking to appoint a mid-level to senior tax associate into one of their East Coast, Texas or Florida offices. This is a genuinely transactional seat. The group advises on the tax aspects of acquisitions and dispositions, joint ventures, partnership and LLC structuring, financings, restructurings, bankruptcies and liquidations - with tax counsel engaged from the outset, while the structuring options are still open, rather than handed a signed agreement to bless. You will plan structures, draft and negotiate the operative tax provisions in purchase and sale agreements, merger agreements and partnership and joint venture documents, and advise on tax-free reorganisations and tax-deferred arrangements. There is real international work alongside it, covering both inbound investment into the US and outbound structuring overseas, as well as 1031 exchanges, Qualified Opportunity Zone and QSBS planning where the client base calls for it. Two things distinguish the platform. The first is integration: tax works shoulder to shoulder with the corporate, real estate and restructuring groups on the same matters, which brings genuine exposure to the tax dimension of distressed and Chapter 11 transactions that most tax practices never see. The second is the ratio of responsibility to headcount - this is not a department where associates run a single workstream for three years and speak to a client twice. You will have direct client contact, work closely with the accountants on the other side of the table, and own your matters early. We're keen to speak with attorneys with four to eight years' post-qualification experience in corporate and transactional tax - broadly the classes of 2018 to 2022 - gained at a US law firm or within the national tax practice of an accounting firm. Admission to the bar of the state in which you intend to be resident is required. Strong academic credentials and excellent written and oral communication skills are expected; an LL.M. in Taxation is welcomed but not a prerequisite. Compensation sits between $230,000 and $400,000 base, commensurate with experience, alongside a comprehensive benefits programme. Visit the IDEX Consulting Ltd website for further opportunities.
