• Pre-transaction reorganisations and post-transaction integration
• Capital structure and financing optimisation
• Intellectual property ownership and reliefs
• Managing risks from global law changes such as BEPS
• Lobbying and negotiations with tax authorities worldwide

Your Key Responsibilities (Repeated)

• Build and maintain client relationships, proactively securing new work
• Manage complex consulting projects with technical excellence and practical focus
• Ensure high-quality client service
• Lead and develop team members through supervision and mentoring
• Contribute to team strategy and operations

• Strong UK and international tax technical skills
• Excellent relationship management and communication skills
• Negotiation and business development abilities
