The tax partner will work closely with attorneys across VLP’s corporate and transactional practice groups, advising on the tax aspects of sophisticated transactions.

- Collaborate seamlessly with corporate and transactional partners to deliver actionable, business-focused legal advice
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Seasoned tax attorney with a deep transactional tax background (prefer 15+ years at BigLaw or comparable high-caliber practice)
- Demonstrated experience advising on M&A, financings, private investments, and other complex deal structures
- Entrepreneurial mindset and interest in serving as the anchor tax partner inside a lean, sophisticated, and highly regarded law firm
