Our client is a leading boutique corporate law firm, adapting a client-centric approach by providing responsive, creative, and effective advice and solutions. They are business-oriented, technology-focused, and provide personalized services. Operating for more than 20 years, they have been named in Canada’s Top 10 Corporate Law Boutiques by Canadian Lawyer Magazine multiple times since 2016. In the Tax Law Group, they work with clients – and often other advisors – to find the structure and approach that work best for businesses. The team offers tax and estate planning for individuals, tax planning on exit for companies, employee remuneration strategies for start-ups and others, tax efficient structures at all stages of the business’s growth, and planning for succession. From simple estate freezes to complex reorganizations, and from closely held groups to negotiated separations, they help clients ensure that their business and planning objectives are met tax efficiently.
The firm is looking to hire an established tax lawyer to their team. He/she will be responsible for a variety of corporate tax-related files with clients at varying stages, such as creating or selling a business, as well as ongoing maintenance of an existing company. This individual will also be asked to assist the transactional M&A team from a tax perspective. Any experience working with venture capital clients is considered a bonus. The ideal candidate will have 6+ years in a comparable role at a well-respected law firm or corporation and have extensive knowledge that will allow them to be able to manage files fairly autonomously. You will not be required to have a book of business, but should have an entrepreneurial mindset and be keen to develop and maintain strong client relationships. The position is able to be based in Toronto, Ottawa or Vancouver and offers a flexible hybrid work arrangement.
This is a unique opportunity for a seasoned corporate tax lawyer to join a collegial, supportive and dedicated team of professionals. If you are interested in this opportunity, please forward your materials, in confidence, to Garrett Giannidis at NagataConnex Executive Legal Search.
