You’ll:
- Lead tax due diligence and structuring engagements for buy-side and sell-side transactions
- Collaborate closely with colleagues in financial due diligence and SPA advisory to deliver joined-up advice
- Be the go-to technical expert for clients across a wide range of sectors—from tech and gaming to healthcare, retail, and beyond
- Develop strong relationships with key stakeholders: private equity houses, law firms, and corporate investors
- Mentor junior team members while managing budgets, deadlines, and project delivery
