We are

or Senior Associate to join our highly regarded Corporate
Tax team and be based in any of our UK offices (London, Reading or Bristol).

The

Our
Corporate Tax team is a strong, three partner team which operates as one team

offices, we are used to being agile and support flexible working practices. We
also work closely with colleagues within Osborne Clarke including our
international offices and especially from our private equity, funds, corporate,
real estate, projects, and banking teams.
The team
enjoys a varied and quality work load for mainly UK mid-market and
international clients. We provide our clients with tailored UK and cross-border
tax advice that helps them meet their business objectives and our work ranges
from stand-alone tax advisory mandates to transaction linked advice. We
undertake complex tax structuring mandates particularly for funds, real estate,
private equity and corporate clients. Our reputation is for giving technically
excellent advice that is commercial and user-friendly regardless of whether we
are providing strategic support or working under pressure on a transaction.
The team is
pro-active and forward looking, an approach which generates significant
advisory work for the team and allows team members to develop specialisms in
areas of interest. We seek to build strong and long lasting relationships with
clients and colleagues. We are closely aligned to Osborne Clarke's sector and
transformation strategies and particularly active, with strong client
relationships, within the areas and sectors of technology, media and
communications; real estate and infrastructure; financial services; and
healthcare and life sciences.

The team
The
Corporate Tax team is currently made up of 3 Partners, 1 Legal Director, 9

Our approach
ensures our lawyers are technically excellent and have rewarding careers within
a collegiate working environment.
Technical
skills and experience
The
successful candidate will be able to demonstrate experience gained from working

appoint an Associate/Senior Associate.
