Chancery Court Tax Chambers is seeking applications from criminal litigation solicitors with at least 1-year PQE. You are required to have experience in white collar crime, specifically fraud. Though not strictly necessary, some degree of private client and/or tax experience is preferable.
The candidate should be eager to develop their experience and skills, undertaking highly complex contentious work, where they will work under experienced counsel as part of a close knit and dynamic team. The role is office based and involves advising on novel, bespoke and high value issues, under time pressure with minimal supervision.
Key requirements:
- Excellent academic background with an undergraduate degree (2:1 as a minimum), A-Levels, and GCSEs (or equivalent).
- Highly self-motivated, organised and capable of working on your own initiative with minimal supervision.
- Excellent analytical skills, problem solving abilities, an excellent memory.
- Highly articulate and eloquent written and spoken English.
- Good working knowledge of key English legal concepts underpinning criminal litigation.
Our clients include high and ultra-high net worth individuals, public figures, business owners and senior executives, trustees, funds and their professional advisers. The role will involve considerable direct client contact, so it is essential that you are experienced and comfortable in dealing with highly demanding clients (if direct access) and their advisers, who are typically solicitors, accountants, trustees and wealth managers.
Please note that we typically receive a considerable volume of applications and the recruitment process therefore involves several stages, including an initial video interview and if successful, a detailed oral assessment in chambers comprising a real client case study with 30 minutes preparation time.
If you wish to apply for this role, please forward your CV and a cover letter outlining your experience, qualifications, and interest to thomas@barristers.tax. Due to the number of applications, we are unable to provide written feedback to unsuccessful candidates, so please kindly refrain from requesting this.
