Job Description
Corporate Tax Partner/Senior Associate
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated individual to join our firm as a Corporate Tax Partner/Senior Associate (8PQE+).
Our firm
Myerson is a Top 200 UK Law Firm as recognised by The Lawyer. We are proud to be ranked ‘Top Tier’ by The Legal 500, commended by The Times ‘Best Law Firms’ 2019 and 2026.
We are one of the largest independent law firms in the North West, a bold claim we are proud to make because it’s been hard won. No instant growth through acquisition or merger. Instead, growth earned from our day-to-day endeavours, an entrepreneurial approach to doing business, and a rock-solid reputation. We recruit staff who are motivated by our core values and have an affinity to our collegiate and independent ethos.
In September 2026 Myerson became a 100% employee-owned business. We are incredibly proud to be the first law firm in the Manchester market to make this positive step. Being employee owned means we have taken steps to safeguard our independence, stability, and people first culture for years to come.
The team
This is a new role for the firm and we anticipate the successful candidate will work closely with several of our legal teams. This role will be an addition to our leading Corporate department which provides the highest level of strategic advice to a large portfolio of commercial organisations. The team has grown in size over recent years and continues to go from strength to strength, previously winning Corporate (and Commercial) Team of the Year at the Manchester Legal Awards. It continually retains its status as Tier 1 Legal 500 practice.
The role
The successful candidate will provide strategic tax advice on complex corporate transactions, business restructurings, and tax planning for SME’s owner-managed businesses and high-net-worth individuals. Some of the duties and responsibilities will include:
Corporate and Business Tax Advisory
Providing strategic tax advice on corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, disposals, and demergers.
Structuring corporate reorganisations, group restructurings, and business exits in a tax-efficient manner and supporting with clearance applications.
Advising on tax implications of private equity transactions, joint ventures, and management buyouts.
Supporting corporate clients and shareholders with tax efficient succession structures, including employee ownership trusts (EOTs), employee benefit trusts (EBTs), enterprise management incentive (EMI) and growth share schemes.
Supporting corporate clients with tax-efficient funding structures, including debt and equity financing.
Advising OMBs, SMEs, and larger corporates on tax planning opportunities and risk mitigation.
Transactional Tax Support
Working closely with the Corporate and Commercial teams to provide tax input on share and asset sales.
Advising and negotiating tax covenants, tax indemnities and warranties, and tax disclosures in sale and purchase agreements.
Structuring earn-outs, deferred consideration, and other commercial arrangements to optimise tax efficiency.
Assisting businesses with VAT, SDLT, and other indirect tax considerations in corporate transactions.
Real Estate and Property Tax
Advising property developers, investors, and corporate occupiers on tax-efficient structuring of property transactions.
Providing guidance on SDLT reliefs, VAT implications, capital allowances, and offshore structures.
Supporting clients with tax planning on commercial and mixed-use property acquisitions and disposals.
Private Client Tax for Business Owners & HNW Individuals
Advising high-net-worth business owners and entrepreneurs on succession planning and exit strategies.
Providing tax-efficient solutions for business wealth preservation, including IHT and CGT mitigation.
Assisting with trust structures, family investment companies, and other estate planning methods.
Business Development and Leadership
Building and maintaining strong relationships with corporate clients, investors, and professional intermediaries.
Supporting the firm’s growth strategy by expanding the tax offering and mentoring junior team members.
Leading business development initiatives, including networking, speaking at internal and external events, and assisting the marketing department with publishing thought leadership content.
