Job Description
KPMG Legal Services
The Legal Services Team sits within KPMG Tax. Its establishment flows naturally from KPMG’s long history of successfully delivering multidisciplinary services to clients.
Its vision is to be the legal adviser of choice for KPMG’s clients when it comes to their people, corporate structures, internal arrangements, regulatory requirements and disputes with HMRC.

Core corporate, commercial and employment law teams, and a market leading tax litigation team, are already in place. Over the next few years, these teams will grow and Legal Services will expand into other areas of law that fit within its vision and the needs of KPMG’s clients.

What KPMG Legal Services is looking for from its lawyers:


- Team players who enjoy working with people from different backgrounds and disciplines
- Approachable people who are keen to develop personally and professionally, and to assist with the development of junior team members
- Lawyers with a passion for the law
- Intellectually curious, open-minded and analytical people, with an eye for detail and pride in their work
- Driven and proactive professionals who deliver a great service to their clients
- Relationship builders who can spot and develop new opportunities both within the KPMG network and externally
- Flexible people who are able to deal with a fluid, changing work environment

- UK Start-Ups for multinationals – dealing with the wealth of immigration and employment law matters that need to be addressed by foreign businesses setting up in the UK
- Advice regarding Senior Executives – advising on contracts of employment and service agreements for senior executives, and on termination
Experience Required
The applicant will have experience of handling the usual day-to-day employment law queries like discipline and grievances, holiday pay, absence management and restrictive covenants. Good skills in drafting employment-related documents such as service agreements, compromise agreements, policies and procedures are also essential.

Its vision is to be the legal adviser of choice for KPMG’s clients when it comes to their people, corporate structures, internal arrangements, regulatory requirements and disputes with HMRC.
