TaxConnections has been retained by a leading multinational law firm to locate a Tax Partner to lead the Chicago and Midwest region in serving international clients. Due to the continued expansion of the international practice our client is searching for an individual who is currently with a Big Four firm or multinational law firm. The Tax Partner will team with a group of talented individuals who are already in place to grow the tax practice. The law firm currently has about 80 tax lawyers worldwide and are seeking the lead person in the midwest law practice. This successful practice is expected to double in size over the next five years.

The Tax Partner will assist multinational clients to design, develop, implement, document and defend international and transfer pricing strategies. They will provide clients guidance in analyzing factual material, communicate the benefits of the transfer pricing methodologies both to government representatives and the courts and negotiate advance pricing agreements on a worldwide basis.

They will be responsible for an international tax practice in a region which handles international, transfer pricing and tax controversy matters covering a wide range of clients with products, intangibles, services and financing throughout the Midwest.

The Tax Partner will be supported by an outstanding team of business lawyers who enjoy working together successfully. This is a uniquely supportive legal environment which makes this particular practice ideal for an international tax lawyer.

The Tax Partner – International role requires an individual with a minimum of 10-20 years of experience in either a law firm or a Top Accounting or Consulting firm. Our client will also welcome anyone who is out on their own with a current client base and would benefit from bringing their clients to a national platform with a wide range of legal resources. The role requires a Tax Partner with strong leadership and market facing skills including strong written and communication skills. Compensation is strong as we want the right leader with great technical and interpersonal skills.
