About Baker McKenzie's Tax Practice Baker McKenzie's Tax Practice is a leader within our firm and one of the most highly regarded tax practices in the world. Ranked Band 1 by Chambers Global for its worldwide work, the practice is recognized by clients and industry peers for the quality tax advice it provides. It covers all aspects of tax planning and transactions, dispute resolution (administrative and litigation), tax policy, transfer pricing, indirect taxes, and wealth‑management tax advice and planning.
Role Overview Baker McKenzie seeks a mid- to senior‑level transactional tax associate to join its Tax Practice in the United States. In this role, you will advise a diverse range of clients on the structuring of domestic and cross‑border investments in various asset classes, private investment offerings, and mergers and acquisitions, and draft and negotiate related contracts and investment documents. You will also draft memoranda and opinions on current, complex US tax issues.
Candidate Qualifications The successful candidate will have 3–7 years of relevant tax experience in some of the following areas: real‑estate taxation (including REITs, qualified opportunity zones, and 1031 like‑kind exchanges), private equity (including fund formation, carried‑interest structures, and M&A), partnership tax and joint ventures, energy (including tax‑credit monetization transactions), and family‑office structuring and related issues. The candidate must enjoy operating in a dynamic environment and be able to work with colleagues in different practice groups and countries. In addition, the candidate must enjoy learning and embracing new, developing areas of tax law with limited formal guidance. Top academic credentials are a prerequisite; an LLM in taxation is not required but may be favorably considered.
Applicants must be admitted to and a member in good standing of the local bar of the office to which the candidate is applying. Please include a cover letter, transcripts, and resume with your application.
