Associate - Tax and Wealth Planning (1-3 PQE)
Location
London
Description
The Department
At Mishcon Private, we have a deep understanding of the
dynamics and politics of families, family businesses and personal
relationships. We understand the issues our clients face and what
keeps them awake at night. We know that their concerns go far beyond
money and wealth preservation: family issues, reputation, their
home, the things they love, or their legacy are far more important.
Our business is protecting them, their interests and the things that
matter most to them.
More and more, we recognise how the corporate, business
and personal taxation needs of our clients overlap. For this reason,
our tax practice is deliberately broad, with experts in all aspects
of corporate M&A and restructuring; real estate; tax disputes
and investigations; employment incentives and rewards; VAT; personal
tax and cross border issues, for companies, funds, trustees and individuals.
Our business and personal tax groups work together to
provide comprehensive, seamless and co-ordinated tax advice to our
clients, and what we do is both transactional and advisory.
Besides the full range of non-contentious tax issues,
we are one of a small number of tax practices that also advises on
tax investigations and litigation. As a result, our tax offering is
unmatched by almost all of our competitors.
Increasingly tax is a political issue too, which has
led to increased levels of scrutiny and transparency, and national
and international regulatory and reporting changes. To navigate
these complexities, we work alongside our clients' existing teams of
accountants, bankers, asset managers, trustees and family offices,
devising and implementing the most robust and appropriate national
and international tax strategies, legal structures and operational frameworks.
A lot of our work has an international dimension. We
have lawyers qualified in multiple jurisdictions, who know how to
work with multinational corporate groups, cross-border investment
structures, multi-jurisdictional incentive arrangements, and
international families and their corporate structures. In each case
our lawyers provide in-depth advice on tax, structuring, regulatory,
investment and corporate issues: in short, strategic, commercial and
sensitive tax advice that protects our clients' interests.
Duties and Responsibilities
You will be advising ultra-high net worth individuals,
families and their trustees on matters pertaining to personal and
business taxation. Clients include high profile individuals,
entrepreneurs, family offices, and hedge funds spanning the UK and
the world.
The tax advice you provide will be multijurisdictional,
with many of our clients seeking international advice pertaining to
the UK, US, Latin American, the Middle East and Asia.
Skills/Experience
Ideally between 1-3 years PQE.
Experience gained at a leading personal tax practice
at a reputable law firm.
An understanding of both onshore and offshore tax and
knowledge of the law surrounding trusts and asset structuring in
the UK and internationally.
Technical knowledge in tax and wealth planning with
competent drafting skills.
Member of the Society of Trust and Estate
Practitioners (STEP) is desirable though not essential.
Experience of the UK side of US/UK tax planning is
desirable though not essential.
Proactive and takes initiative.
Strong organisational and prioritising skills, in
order to meet the demands of challenging and commercial internal
and external clients, as well as dealing with competing priorities.
