Are you an admitted attorney with strong attention to detail and an interest in tax, corporate law, or cross-border advisory? This might be your chance to take the next exciting step in your career.

We specialise in complex tax technical matters, including corporate tax, international tax, and VAT. Our clients include high-net-worth individuals, multinationals, and innovative businesses navigating the ever-evolving South African and international tax landscape.

This is not a run-of-the-mill legal role. You will work closely with an experienced tax legal team on matters that regularly involve:

• Tax opinions and structuring
• VAT advisory and cross-border compliance
• Cross-border transactions
• Estate and trust planning

What we are looking for:

• Admitted attorney (0–2 years PQE) with strong academic results
• Prior exposure to tax law, commercial law, or estate planning is advantageous (but not essential)
• A willingness to grow into a technically strong, client-facing advisor
• Excellent legal research, writing, and analytical skills
• Someone proactive, curious, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment

What you will get:

• Hands-on experience with complex legal work, not administrative
• Mentorship from a dynamic team with deep technical tax expertise
• Opportunity to develop thought leadership through opinion drafting, webinars, and publications
• A clear growth path within a respected practice that values excellence and initiative

If you are ambitious, eager to learn, and ready to accelerate your legal career in a high-impact space, apply now.
