Ideally, you will:
Have strong technical taxation expertise and analytical capability
Be confident managing matters independently while working collaboratively

Value flexibility, autonomy and a positive team culture
This opportunity would suit a senior lawyer seeking a more adaptable and sustainable way of practicing, while continuing to work on high-quality and intellectually stimulating matters.
