Associate

Boodle Hatfield has been providing practical advice to businesses and individuals for over 300 years. Our clients come from a wide range of sectors, both in the UK and internationally, and include some of the most well-established owner-managed businesses and property companies as well as fast-growing entrepreneurial enterprises and ultra-high net worth families. Our chief priority is helping our clients achieve their commercial objectives, whatever form their business takes.

Our approach is to become the long-term trusted adviser to leading wealth creators and owners as well as their commercial and investment enterprises. Having a holistic view of our clients' structures and affairs means we can leverage this to provide the most appropriate and commercial advice to them. This approach has enabled us, throughout our 300-year history, to help our clients successfully navigate the continually changing and sometimes challenging markets in which they operate.

With a history like ours, we know we are built to last. But this isn’t the time to rest on our laurels but instead a chance to reflect and build on our heritage. We are merely today’s custodians of the Boodle Hatfield name, and we want to create a legacy that our successors will be just as proud of.

To commemorate our 300 year anniversary, last year we rolled out an extensive programme of activities, each of which sowed the seeds for the future success of others – our local neighbourhoods, the wider legal profession, and of course our valued clients and our own team.

Boodle Hatfield is recognised as being one of the leading Private Client firms in the country.  We have a long history of advising private clients, both UK and international, and this is a core part of our business.  The Private Client and Tax Department advises clients with a diverse asset base, including international businesses, luxury assets (art, yachts, aircraft and classic cars) and traditional landed estates.  We specialise in giving proactive estate planning, trusts, commercial and wealth protection advice that helps our clients preserve and enhance their wealth, whilst also ensuring compliance and reputational integrity.  Our focus is on providing a very personal service to clients with complex needs.

As a result of continued growth we are looking for a bright, motivated and enthusiastic Associate to join our London office and be part of a friendly, busy and highly successful team.  We seek candidates who have trained at reputable City or West End Firms who have 3 or more years of experience in a private client or tax department. 

The successful candidate must have experience in advising on complex wealth holding and family office structures and associated tax issues. Knowledge and experience of trusts and wealth structures in other jurisdictions in both common or case law is also essential.

The successful candidate would join a growing practice, where they would receive Partner-lead support and would also get the opportunity to lead on matters. The firm would support this individual with growth of business and practice.
