In KPMG Law, we have a global legal network with more than 3,750 legal professionals, operating across more than 80 countries. Our lawyers have expertise across all key areas of law including corporate, commercial, data privacy, competition, employment, real estate, and tax law, as well as having best in-class capabilities in legal operations transformation, legal technology implementation, and managed services delivery. As part of our legal team, you will benefit from our multi-disciplinary approach, working alongside KPMG’s tax, consulting, and deal advisory professionals, to deliver rounded business-based solutions.

Wherever you join us, you will find we value unique perspectives and welcome people from a wide variety of professional backgrounds. If you are a creative thinker with an entrepreneurial spirit, who wants to help us leverage deep expertise on a global scale, this is your opportunity to work on a range of high impact and engaging projects.

In your role, you will be supported to work flexibly across your region – at engagement sites, our offices and home. You will have access to the latest trends to further hone your skills, as well as the support of leadership and a collaborative work community to help you develop your career. Life in this part of our firm is full of opportunities.

New domestic laws, international reform, updated processes and technology mean tax is becoming ever-more complex and that demand for our services is rising rapidly. Tax has also sharply risen up the public and political agenda in recent years, with a noticeable shift towards increased transparency and tougher scrutiny by government authorities across the world.

Working in our Corporate Tax teams, you will help your corporate clients adopt responsible and sustainable approaches to tax that will not only deliver compliance, but also support their wider commercial objectives and enhance their growth. You can look forward to working alongside the best technical specialists, sector and industry experts to add value in a range of areas, including Global Compliance and Transformation, Corporate Tax Advisory and Compliance, International Tax, Transfer Pricing, Deal Advisory Tax and Claims & Incentives across all sectors and markets.

With a UK network of more than 200 Indirect Tax specialists, supported by a global network of 1,500 professionals across over 100 countries, we are home to one of the UK’s leading Indirect Tax practices. Our diverse portfolio of household names and smaller clients covers sectors such as Financial Services, B2B, B2C, Real Estate, Private Equity and many others. We frequently work collaboratively with other KPMG services.

Join us, and you will provide advice and support across a range of issues – our expertise spans the various indirect schemes in the UK, including VAT, customs and green taxes. That will involve working closely with your clients to understand their businesses, ensure they meet their indirect tax obligations and manage any issues arising from the application of relevant legislation. Whatever your role, you can expect to make a significant impact as you advise clients on how indirect taxes affect their cash flow and, crucially, their bottom line.

Now more than ever, we need to support our clients to adapt in a rapidly-changing business and legal landscape. Side-by-side, we are reimagining law, working with them to navigate uncertainty - where through disruption, we see possibilities. We are looking for colleagues to join our network of legal professionals who are self-starters, able to drive commercial value, seek opportunity and deliver digitally-driven solutions that help our clients evolve and thrive in a new world.

Our integrated approach allows us to supply rounded legal solutions as we are able to apply our deep industry knowledge and commercial insight from our wider practice - all underpinned by our innovative use of technology. All of this is supported by a global legal network operating in over 80 countries with access to more than 3,750 legal professional colleagues worldwide. You will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects and cases, for some of the world’s leading companies. And as we are going through a rapid period of growth, this means more opportunities for you to develop your career in the direction you choose, at the right time for you with flexible working opportunities.

We will value your contribution as you play a key role in the whole project lifecycle - everything from strategy to implementation. Most importantly of all, as part of KPMG Law, you are encouraged to be yourself. Join us, and reimagine your career as a truly business-oriented legal professional at KPMG Law.
