Job description

Bring sophisticated corporate tax and M&A experience to a respected AV-rated firm with the opportunity to work alongside corporate deal teams and build a leadership-level practice.

Our client is a prominent, AV-rated law firm in Orlando, Florida, seeking a Senior Corporate Tax Attorney with 5+ years of substantial experience advising clients on corporate tax matters and complex transactions. The ideal candidate will have experience with M&A transactions, corporate and partnership taxation, transaction structuring, reorganizations, and tax diligence, as well as counseling clients throughout the transaction lifecycle.

Required Qualifications:

• Minimum 5 years of substantial corporate tax experience
• Experience with M&A transactions, corporate and partnership taxation, transaction structuring, reorganizations, and tax diligence
• Strong technical tax and legal drafting skills
• Practical business judgment and strong analytical abilities
• Experience working collaboratively with corporate deal teams in a fast-paced transactional environment
• Strong client counseling and communication skills
• Admission to the Florida Bar, or willingness to take the Florida Bar within a reasonable period of employment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience counseling private equity sponsors, strategic buyers, founders, and closely held businesses
• Experience with acquisitions, dispositions, recapitalizations, rollover equity arrangements, and joint ventures
• Experience with tax-efficient structuring involving C corporations, S corporations, and partnerships
• Experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating 409A-compliant plans, including top hat plans
• A portable book of business is welcome but not required, depending on the level of the candidate

This position offers the opportunity to work on sophisticated corporate transactions and provide end-to-end tax counsel alongside corporate deal teams, rather than serving solely as an ad hoc tax advisor.

The position is based in the Orlando office and requires a substantial in-office presence, with some hybrid flexibility available.

Salary: $150,000–$250,000+ with bonuses, depending on experience.
