US/UK Tax Director - London

Leadership, commercial direction and a credible route to Partner

The brief here is to help a respected private client practice become more commercially engaged, more outward-facing and more confident in how it develops its US/UK tax offering.

The team advises high-net-worth individuals, international families, entrepreneurs, private equity partners, fund professionals, senior executives and globally mobile clients on complex US and UK tax matters. The work includes cross-border planning, treaty issues, trusts, estate and gift tax, remittance planning, expatriation, pensions, carried interest, LLCs, real estate exposure and wider international private client structuring.

The technical quality is already in place. The opportunity now is to help the team grow in confidence, visibility and commercial impact.

You would work closely with the existing partners, taking a senior role in client relationships, external networks, intermediary relationships and business development. The firm is looking for someone proactive: a US/UK tax adviser who can spot opportunities, develop ideas, build relationships and help the team become more engaged with the market.

This is not a workflow management role.

It is a leadership role. You would help shape the direction of the US/UK tax offering, support the development of the team, build external profile, create greater commercial momentum and contribute to the longer-term growth of the practice.

There is a credible and real route towards partnership for someone who can bring more than technical strength.

The environment is well suited to someone who wants substance rather than scale for its own sake. The firm is partner-led, technically respected and long established in private client tax, trusts and international wealth structuring. It has the reputation and client base to support high-quality work, while still giving senior people the visibility to influence how the practice develops.

All conversations will be handled in confidence.
