About this Role
Location: Melbourne CBD
Work Type: Full Time
Category: Law, Taxation
Are you a Tax Lawyer feeling capped by slow-moving promotion cycles? Join Australia’s largest legal partnership in a role that trades traditional hierarchy for a genuine meritocracy.
Our client’s Melbourne Taxation team is looking for an ambitious 4+ PAE practitioner to handle a sophisticated mix of front-end advisory and back-end controversy. This is a rare chance to work on "top-tier" matters—including M&A transactions, complex trust structures, and cross-border financing—while maintaining a high degree of file ownership.
Advisory: Provide expert advice on Income Tax, CGT, and M&A due diligence.
Litigation & Disputes: Lead and manage reviews, audits, and litigation involving the ATO.
Strategic Planning: Navigate complex tax issues for a diverse portfolio, including ASX-listed entities, HNW family groups, and government agencies.
You are a strategic thinker who enjoys the "grey areas" of tax law. You likely have:
4+ years PAE within a reputable tax practice (Law or Big 4 Accounting backgrounds are both encouraged).
Proven experience in tax disputes or litigation (highly regarded).
The ability to communicate complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders, from charitable boards to foreign investors.
Unrivalled Career Path: Promotions are based on performance, not tenure. 180-day career planning sessions ensure you are constantly moving toward your next milestone.
Better Partner-to-Lawyer Ratio: Benefit from direct mentoring and high-level client engagement that you simply won't find at other large-scale firms.
The Culture: A "down-to-earth" environment that prioritizes networking. From the 'Latte Link-Up' program to active social and sports clubs, you’ll be part of a connected national community.
Modern Workspace: Work from a state-of-the-art Melbourne CBD office with premium end-of-trip facilities.
