New ground won’t break itself.

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals. In Real Estate Tax we pride ourselves on helping transform our clients’ real estate into greater assets. Every day, we provide a diverse range of organisations with the kind of business and financial advice it takes to do this. Our ideas and insight empower our clients to make big decisions about the future and unlock sustainable growth. With a relentless focus on quality and integrity, we help businesses, communities and our people to flourish.

We advise real estate funds, global institutional investors, REITs, private investors, the public sector, on investment into UK and pan-European real estate providing tax structuring, tax compliance and tax due‑diligence advice. We work in all real estate sectors including commercial, office, student housing, industrial logistics, retail and hotels. We advise on Stamp Taxes, Capital Gains, Inheritance Tax and every other related niche in this market.

A look into the role

The growing number of large clients now working with us means there are huge opportunities for rapid promotion at all levels.

With the support of the Partner and Directors, you’ll lead from the front when it comes to dealing with clients, delivering work and engaging with the Real Estate and broader Tax teams.

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments, to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society. It’s that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our firm’s values – purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind.
