About The Position

Gallagher LLP is seeking a Senior Tax Attorney at the Partner or Senior Associate level to provide tax structuring advice to transactional clients. The attorney will advise on individual transactions and partnership and corporate planning, collaborating closely with colleagues across the firm.

The role covers a broad range of transactions, including real estate development, investment fund formation, real estate debt and equity financing, venture capital investing, and mergers and acquisitions.

The attorney will also work on general corporate and partnership planning, including small business succession, employee equity participation, joint ventures, shareholder agreements, and allocation of profits and losses.

The firm’s current remote work policy for attorneys is three days per week in the office, with flexibility possible. Depending on physical distance, the successful candidate may work more remotely, provided they can meet with clients and colleagues face-to-face and spend time in the office as needed.
