About the job

The Firm

Mishcon de Reya is an independent law firm, which now employs more than 1,000 people with over 600 lawyers offering a wide range of legal services to companies and individuals. We have grown rapidly in recent years, showing more than 40% revenue growth in the past five years alone.

Based in London and Singapore, with an association with Karas LLP in Hong Kong, the firm services an international community of clients and provides advice in situations where the constraints of geography often do not apply. The work we undertake is cross-border, multi-jurisdictional and complex, spanning six core practice areas: Corporate; Dispute Resolution; Employment; Innovation; Private; and Real Estate.

In times of such far-reaching and profound change we want to be the law firm that enables our clients – and our own people – to shape the world’s possibilities. We are here to help our clients benefit from new economies, new geographic centres of wealth, the new global movement of people and capital, and the impact of new technologies and new knowledge.

Our purpose remains rooted in our founding values. We take pride in the diverse range of people who make up the firm and are proactive in driving change and continuous improvement across the spectrum of equality, diversity and inclusion. Mishcon Academy, our in-house place of learning, development and new thinking for our people, clients and contacts and our innovative impact strategy, including a commitment to be a net zero carbon business, also play a central strategic role in the direction of the firm. In 2020 we launched Mishcon Purpose, a first-of-its-kind sustainability practice providing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) advice and purpose-driven insight to clients.

The Mishcon de Reya Group comprises standalone businesses MDR Brand Management, MDR Cyber, MDR Discover, MDR Mayfair (in London, Singapore and Dubai) and MDRxTECH. Complementary to Mishcon de Reya’s core areas of work, each is led by best in class professionals recruited from a variety of non-legal industries and sectors.

The Department

At Mishcon, we are well placed to understand the nexus between the corporate, business and personal taxation needs of our clients. We offer high-end strategic tax advice, including VAT, which protects our clients’ interests. We are one of a small number of firms that offers a tax practice spanning both corporate and personal tax and one of a smaller number still – arguably the only – high end tax practice that incorporates litigation capabilities alongside non-contentious advice. This capability is unmatched by our competitors in both legal and accountancy firms.

The Tax Practice recognises the diversity of our client base, as well as their changing needs, as their personal and business concerns overlap in a highly scrutinised and regulated environment.

Our clients are a mix of ultra-high and high net worth individuals, institutions, investors, property developers, entrepreneurs, local authorities and charities. We advise UK and international clients on both direct and indirect taxes especially stamp duty land tax and VAT.
