Senior Tax Attorney

Gallagher LLP is seeking a senior tax attorney (Partner or Senior Associate) to provide tax structuring advice to our transactional clients. The attorney will advise on individual transactions as well as partnership and corporate planning, working closely with colleagues across the firm.

The ideal candidate will have experience advising on 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. Experience with tax-sensitive real estate investments, such as renewable energy tax credits, LIHTC, Opportunity Zone funds, historic tax credits, and new markets tax credits, is especially valuable. The candidate will also bring a solid background in general corporate and partnership planning, including small business succession, employee equity participation, joint venture arrangements, shareholder agreements, and the allocation of profits and losses.

We do not expect to find someone who is an expert in everything listed above, and we encourage candidates whose experience covers a meaningful portion of this work to apply.

Qualifications

J.D. from an accredited law school and admission to practice in Maryland (or eligibility for admission)

8+ years of experience in tax planning, structuring of business transactions, and mergers and acquisitions

Strong working knowledge of partnership and corporate tax

Excellent analytical, drafting, and communication skills

Proven ability to collaborate with colleagues and build lasting client relationships

Our current remote work policy for attorneys is three days per week in the office, though we are open to a more flexible schedule. Depending on physical distance, the right candidate may work more remotely, provided they are prepared to meet with clients and colleagues face-to-face and spend time in the office as needed.

For over 65 years, Gallagher has been a trusted partner for businesses and non-profits across the mid-Atlantic region and nationwide, representing top universities, hospitals, financial institutions, real estate developers, and more. We recruit with the hope and expectation that our people will build their careers here: more than half of our attorneys joined the firm as law clerks or new lawyers, and most of our staff has been with us for more than a decade. That stability strengthens our culture and the quality and continuity of the service we provide to our clients.
