KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

You’ll spend your time on a diverse array of projects, responsibilities and tasks. One of the main focal points of you work will be advising on transactions against the backdrop of the increasingly complex international tax environment. This will include, in particular, due diligence in relation to asset and corporate acquisitions, and advising on the structuring of investments and development projects. A significant element of our work comprises supporting our colleagues in our International Network and advising their clients on inbound investment and development opportunities in Ireland. In this context, we have a very strong international real estate network, and we work in a very integrated way with our colleagues across the network. Our team is essentially a sub-set of a much larger International Real Estate tax team that operates in a seamless and cohesive manner across jurisdictions. This creates very significant opportunities in an Irish context given the level of international investment in real estate in Ireland.
Whatever you’re working on, our clients will turn to you for up-to-the-minute Tax advice they can rely on. To make that happen, we’ll look to you to implement your knowledge of Tax concepts and Law and to project manage the delivery of top-quality advice to our clients such that they optimise their Tax position, but always in the context of the overriding commercial objectives in undertaking the transaction. You’ll be working in a highly collaborative culture, where listening to and sharing information with colleagues is an essential part of the role.
