Many clients are international, with interests across various jurisdictions and sectors. They include professional fiduciaries and private trustees, both in the UK and major international financial centers. Many are not residents or domiciled in the UK. Their tax issues are complex, but their main goal remains the preservation of wealth for their families and philanthropic efforts.

Duties and Responsibilities:

The role involves advising on UK aspects of US/UK and international tax, trusts, asset protection structuring, and lifetime planning for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families, and trustees.

Skills/Experience:

• 3-6 years PQE with experience in private wealth, specializing in personal tax, trusts, and international and domestic wealth planning.
• Experience at a reputable law firm in a personal tax practice.
• Strong knowledge of onshore and offshore tax, trusts, and asset structuring law in the UK and internationally.
• Good technical knowledge in tax and wealth planning with drafting skills.
• Membership of STEP is desirable.
• Experience with UK US/UK tax planning is a plus but not essential.
