Private Client & Tax Department - Oxford - 1-3 Years PQE
Boodle Hatfield is recognised as being one of the leading Private Client firms in the country. We have a long history of advising private clients and this continues to be a core part of our business. The Private Client and Tax Department advises clients from both the UK and overseas, who own assets that range from busy international businesses to traditional landed estates. We specialise in giving proactive and “cutting edge” tax, trusts and commercial advice that helps those clients to preserve and enhance their wealth. Our focus is on providing a very personal service to clients with complex needs.
We are based in both Oxford and London and have a supportive and professional group of lawyers, ranging from newly qualified assistant solicitors to highly experienced and renowned Partners. There is no distinction between the types of work handled in the different locations and client teams are often cross-locational.
As a result of continued growth we are looking for a bright, motivated and enthusiastic lawyer to join our Oxford office. We seek candidates who have trained at reputable City or West End Firms who have at least 1 year's experience in a private client department. Ideally the candidate will have gained some mainstream private client experience, specifically including tax planning and preferably (but not essentially) some exposure to complex UK/non-UK trust structures and off shore experience.
The successful candidate will advise on the full spectrum of tax planning for high net worth individuals and trustees, landed estates, entrepreneurs and resident/non-resident and domiciled/non-domiciled clients. Being based in Oxford is a rare opportunity to do London-type private client work in a much sought after location, as part of a friendly, busy and highly motivated team.
Personal Qualities
- Excellent academics including 2.1 or above and high A Levels
- Team player
- Excellent communication skills
- A proactive self-starter with plenty of drive and initiative.
