Role for an experienced tax solicitor in a large national law firm, a real opportunity to develop your career in tax law.

• Wide ranging tax work for significant clients
• Superb mentoring and support
• Award winning firm culture

Simpson Grierson is looking for an experienced and ambitious tax solicitor to join its busy team in the Auckland office in early 2025. This role represents a genuine opportunity to develop your career. There is a gap in the team at the intermediate to senior level, and a bright, driven lawyer will have the chance to shine and advance. Our tax team advises on an extremely wide range of transactions and scenarios, ranging from M&A and corporate finance to highly specialised public sector, charitable sector and private client work, as well as tax disputes.  
  
We are looking for a lawyer with 7 or more years' experience in tax law, ideally in a law firm or transactional tax team in an accounting firm.  You’ll have broad experience in all transactional tax and general tax advisory matters, including cross-border and GST.   Some public sector (local or central government) and/or charitable sector tax experience would be valuable but is not critical.  Experience with tax compliance and due diligence would also be advantageous.  You'll have excellent communication, written and analytical skills and will be self-managing and efficient, with a strong interest in building your career through business development.
 
The role offers fantastic quality work, with loads of variety.  You’ll build solid client relationships with a variety of clients, and develop your practice and profile, with mentoring and support from a team of true specialists, in a collegial environment. 
 
We believe in investing in our people, offering outstanding professional development opportunities, a comprehensive wellbeing programme, competitive salaries and market-leading benefits.  We won large firm Employer of Choice at the 2022 and 2023 Law Awards and Employer of Choice at the 2023 HR Awards NZ. We are proud of our diverse and inclusive culture and our reputation for putting people first in everything we do.
