Your new firm
This premier firm is at the top of their game in the Tax & Trusts sector, dominating the directory ratings and handling major instructions. Their established reputation for high-quality practice has led to continued growth in services to high and ultra high-net-worth individuals. Their UK-based clients come from a range of backgrounds – including city-based clients such as large business owners and entrepreneurs, as well as significant landowners and landed estates. They compete on level terms with the top London-based private client departments.

Your new role
You will join one of the largest Tax and Trusts teams in the country, with a national and international profile rivaling the best firms. Ranked in the top tier of both Chambers and The Legal 500, the team offers complex, challenging, and high-value work to help develop you into the best Private Client Lawyer you can be. This vacancy primarily involves advising UK-based clients on tax and trusts law. The work is varied and likely to include:

• IHT and CGT planning including advice on “Balfour” type structures
• LPAs and Wills
• Heritage property relief for chattels and real property
• Advice to trustees on tax, structuring, exercise of their powers, and trust management (including TRS and GDPR)
• High-value and complex probates with APR/BPR and heritage relief claims
• Structuring and reviewing partnership arrangements

What you'll need to succeed
You should have experience working for a respected City or national firm with a recognized Private Client practice and be seeking to develop your career with a leading firm with an international reach.

What you'll get in return
This is a standout opportunity to join an ambitious and growing practice that offers excellent career progression. You will join a vibrant team that invests heavily in its staff, with the benefits of living in the Southwest.

Flexible and hybrid working options are available, making this an ideal opportunity for full or part-time lawyers, whether already based in the Southwest or planning to relocate there in the future. Please contact Harriet Chapman at Hays for further information on this opportunity.
