I am a tax lawyer who qualified as a solicitor three years ago out of a mid-size City law firm.

On qualification I joined one of the Big four accountancy firms and worked for two years in their stamp taxes team. I subsequently took on a mainstream corporate tax role within one of their direct tax groups and have since been doing a mixture of tax advisory (e.g. fund structuring) and tax compliance work (e.g. preparation of tax computations and writing memos for tax audits).
