Exciting Tax Partner Opportunity With Well-Known French Law Firm
Located in the heart of the City of Paris, an opportunity has arisen to support the wider work of this Paris law firm, famed particularly for its core strength in project development and energy, for an advisory tax lawyer to join the firm as Partner.

About the Firm:
This firm is mostly concentrated in projects, infrastructure and energy, and is consistently ranked in Legal 500 for its first-class handling of legal matters thereto. The firm has a modest full-service set-up, including catering to the corporate, insurance, finance and public law sectors, in addition to its main staple of energy projects work. For the last 20 years, the firm has been a first choice for players in the energy and infrastructure industry.

The atmosphere of the firm is both collegiate and professional, whilst being a comfortable place to work in terms of revenue expectations as compared to some of its more demanding peers. Whilst the firm boasts a very nice office in Paris it is quite common for lawyers to work on a more hybrid basis, as mutually suiting the staff and the servicing needs of their clientele.

The firm is composed of 7 partners and 30 lawyers and is keen to expand its partnership numbers, partly as a natural progression as with any law firm and also due to the increasing needs of the firm's clientele. The firm is by no means top-heavy therefore, so continuous promotion and career opportunities are realistic.

The Opportunity:
The firm are currently urgently looking for a tax partner to manage all of the tax-pertinent matters for the firm and its clients. This will be a very autonomous opportunity for the right candidate and in time will provide more managerial opportunities as the tax team grows. Such growth is a fundamental ambition of the team as its work-load increases, so this is more than just a good opportunity for partnership but also a great opportunity to play a part in the future expansion of what is already a well-regarded energy market player.

The Candidate:
Alongside serving their own portable clientele, the successful candidate will be servicing the tax advisory needs of the firm's existing clients - indeed the emphasis of this role is on the tax advisory side as opposed to the tax-litigation side. However, the role would suit an all-rounder tax lawyer, and any additional contentious experience may be deemed useful. International experience of tax transactions as well would be highly beneficial as many of the firms clients are based internationally. Any sectoral history in energy matters as they pertain to tax would be useful, but not a prerequisite.

The role would suit a Counsel-level tax lawyer with clientele looking for their break into an immediate partnership opening, or for an existing tax Partner looking for a whole new experience growing the tax offering and contributing to the ultimate growth ambitions of the firm. The firm has a cohesive, yet entrepreneurial spirit and career progression and competitive remuneration are guaranteed.

If this sounds like your profile, please do get in touch.
