Are you a commercially-minded Tax Lawyer looking to step away from the "big firm" grind without sacrificing the quality of your work?
A premier Sydney-based firm, recognized as a 2024 Employer of Choice, is seeking an ambitious Tax Lawyer or Associate to join their elite Private Clients team. This isn’t a role where you’ll be hidden in the back room; you will work directly with industry-leading partners on a broad range of high-stakes matters, enjoying genuine client engagement from day one.

Advising on complex asset structuring, business succession, and trusts.
Working across SMSFs and estate planning for high-net-worth individuals.
Collaborating directly with Partners who prioritize mentorship and structured career progression.
We are looking for a high-performer who is academically strong and technically curious. To be successful, you will need:
3–4 years PQE gained within a reputable Law Firm or a Big 4 Accounting environment.
Proven experience in State and Federal tax; exposure to tax disputes is a plus.
A strong interest (or prior experience) in trusts, estate planning, and superannuation.
Excellent research, analytical, and communication skills.
A commitment to ongoing learning (e.g., undertaking or interested in a Masters of Tax).
This firm is defined by a "culture first" mentality—blending a high-performance environment with a warm, approachable atmosphere.
Mentorship: Direct access to Partners who are committed to your professional development.
Flexibility: Genuine hybrid work options (1–2 days WFH) and a focus on work-life balance.
Market-Leading Benefits: Includes a 20-week paid parental leave policy for all eligible caregivers and a discretionary incentive bonus program.
Growth: Clear pathways for career advancement within a firm that invests in its people through structured training and secondment opportunities.
