Tax / Fraud / Investigations Litigation Associate

THE FIRM

A modern, ambitious and expanding law firm.

THE ROLE

The firm's Tax Advisory and Director Services team is looking to hire an associate who can grow this team extending to tax litigation including appeals against determinations and decisions, advisory aspects on tax investigations and fraud (from the defendant aspect) and/or any related criminal proceedings.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious individual with relevant experience to grow a business offering without the usual risks associated to such ambitions.

Applicants are not required to have experience of all contentious tax investigatory areas but would be expected to work in a small team of solicitors offering tax dispute and resolution services which should extend to defences or appeals to the FTT and onward to the wider non-specialist Courts (where appropriate).

THE CANDIDATE

The successful candidate must have experience of managing individuals or a team and comprehensive experience of tax advisory and litigation services.

Experience of fraud investigations and/or criminal proceedings would also be of interest, although the firm is currently a civil litigation practice.

It is anticipated that many instructions may be internally referred as connected to current client concerns or directed through the website, in addition to the candidate's own marketing and business development efforts. The applicant would be expected, with time, to contribute to written articles published online.

Lipson Lloyd Jones Ltd is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy.
