About Ashurst

Ashurst is a leading global law firm with a history spanning almost 200 years, and a clear strategy for our future growth. Our in-depth understanding of our clients and commitment to providing exceptional standards of service have seen us become a trusted adviser to local and global corporates, financial institutions and governments in all areas of commercial law.

In order to comply with regulatory and client requirements, Ashurst will undertake appropriate vetting of staff. When applicants accept a job offer, Ashurst, alongside a specialist provider, will undertake professional verification and background checks. These checks are only undertaken with consent, and in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations.

Team overview:

Ashurst's tax department forms part of the firm's Strategic Advisory Division and advises on a wide range of general corporate and commercial tax matters, both domestic and cross-border.

Reflecting the firm's key practice strengths and diverse client base, our work has a particular focus on:

- Real estate, acting for developers, financiers and investors;

- Funds, acting for investors, sponsors and management teams across all asset classes;

- Corporate, from listed company work to private equity;

- Infrastructure and oil and gas; and

- Financial transactions, including derivatives, structured products, note programmes, all types of loan transactions and restructurings.

A substantial part of our business involves supporting and working with other practice areas across the firm but an increasing proportion is standalone advisory work, including contentious and tax litigation matters.

We form part of the firm's international tax practice with expertise in the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Australia.

We pride ourselves on having a wide and general tax practice and on being adaptable, pragmatic and constructive.
