    Description
    Firm Summary

    White & Case is an elite global law firm serving leading companies, financial institutions and governments worldwide. Our long history as an international firm means we are perfectly placed to help our clients resolve their most complex legal challenges wherever they may be.

    With lawyers and staff operating from more than 47 locations, working in virtually every country of the world, we have invested heavily in building a high-quality full-service practice competing at the top of the market. We are distinguished by our on-the-ground presence in the world's key financial markets and our strengths in handling complex cross-border work.

    It's not just about our global network of offices and shared services centers; it's the global interconnectedness of the Firm that our people, and our clients, value most. We work well together across geographic and practice boundaries. It's one of the reasons we attract and retain cross-border work. And why we attract a diverse group of people.

    Position Summary

    We are looking for a mid-level to senior-level tax associate to support our growing renewable energy and energy transition practices. You should have experience with renewable energy tax credits, project finance, and partnership and M&A transactions, preferably including negotiating and documenting tax equity transactions.

    In addition to strong academic credentials, you should possess good judgment, excellent analytical skills, the intellectual rigor to grasp the tax intricacies of complicated transactions involving partnership and tax credits. You will be on the forefront of energy transition, including work on cutting-edge transactions taking advantage of tax incentives in the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

    You should be comfortable handling complex contractual work, combining a vigilance and eye for detail with the creativity to develop innovative solutions. Given the rapid pace of our practice, you will also need to be pragmatic and highly organized-consistently meeting deadlines, and offering the dedication required to deliver an outstanding work product.

    Both oral and written communication skills will be major assets, enabling you to communicate complex tax analyses to partners, colleagues and clients in a way that is clear and succinct. A team player, you should be at ease working alongside the group's partners and colleagues from across the firm's offices and practices.

    Confident and self-motivated, you should demonstrate a willingness to accept responsibility and take ownership of projects, as well as a proactive mindset that enables you to anticipate clients' needs and independently develop solutions that add real value to their transactions.

    Our Practice Area

    The Global Tax Group supports clients by bringing insight to the business and legal intricacies of the full spectrum of domestic and international tax matters. The Group is widely recognized for its forward-thinking approach, having handled numerous precedent-setting global firsts.

    As an associate focusing on the tax aspects of transactions, you will be expected to take on significant responsibility from an early stage-preparing tax analyses, drafting memos and opinions, reviewing and marking up contracts, and negotiating with other side counsel. From the moment you join the practice, you will be working alongside experienced partners within the Tax Group, and with colleagues across the firm's offices and practices-from Project Development & Finance and Energy Transition to M&A.

    Working in a fast-paced practice with a high turnover of matters, the workload can be intense but is always rewarding-both in terms of the excellent opportunities for professional development, and the satisfaction gained by making a valued contribution to your team's success.
