The role offers the opportunity to advise a sophisticated client base, including high-net-worth individuals, families, family offices, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists on complex cross-border matters.

The Role

The successful candidate will work closely with partners and senior lawyers across the international Private Client & Tax division, focusing on:

  • US and international trust and estate planning
  • Expatriation and pre-immigration planning
  • Cross-border philanthropy
  • Structuring of passive and active investments for US and non-US clients investing in the US

The work is diverse, intellectually challenging, and offers exposure to an exceptional global client base.

  • Admission to practice law in the US
  • 1–4 years’ post-qualification experience (JD preferred)
  • LLM in taxation, a law school concentration in tax/estate planning, or equivalent practical experience
  • Strong skills in researching US tax law (e.g. Title 26 / IR Code),
  • Preparing technical advice memoranda, and drafting wills and trusts
  • Confident communicator, with experience advising clients directly
  • Prior experience outside the US, ideally in London, is highly advantageous
  • Hybrid working (2–3 days per week in office)
  • Standard hours: 9:30am–5:30pm (flexibility required)
  • Excellent salary and flexible benefits package

This is an outstanding opportunity for a US-qualified lawyer to join one of the world’s most respected private client practices in London.
