Law Graduate (Tax)

APPLY HERE 

We have opened our graduate program in March 2024, with responses due by 12 April 2024 for commencing in late May 2024. We will likely do another intake in late 2024 to start in early 2025

We are currently hiring two graduate lawyers to work in our tax law team.

We value curiosity, problem-solving skills, and the willingness to learn and grow with us. Great academic marks, a pre-existing passion for tax law, GDLP, or admission are not necessary. 

What We’re Looking For
These are absolutely necessary:

• Mandatory Educational Background: Must have completed a degree that means you are eligible for admission (LLB, JD). No need for admission as a lawyer before applying.
• Any Work Experience: We welcome experience from any sector. No legal experience required, but some experience in the workforce is looked on favourably.
• Location: Must be based in Brisbane, or willing to relocate.
• Personal Qualities: Curiosity, a drive to tackle high-complexity issues, and excellent communication.
   

What We Aren’t Impressed By
The below are nice to have, but not necessary to apply. 
 

• Great Academic Marks: Great academics are nice, but not essential for this role.
• A Passion for Tax Law: We are suspicious of anyone who enjoys tax law before ever doing it. Don’t worry, you’ll love it.
• Legal Experience: We do things our own way (and it works). Previous experience in a law firm is not something we look for. 

Why Cadena?

We are a firm unlike any other. We are relaxed, yet also top of the field in tax technical and complex clients. 
 

• Dynamic Team Culture: We’re proud of our supportive, collaborative environment and relaxed feel. Join us and be part of a team that values innovation and teamwork.
• Diverse Client Portfolio: Your problem-solving skills will be continuously challenged and honed with our varied clientele. From SME’s to ASX listed companies, to US tech billionaire family offices – we have the range.
• Rapid Growth Opportunities: Cadena’s growth offers unmatched learning and career advancement opportunities. Tax law is in extreme demand, and the skills you gain here can launch a career.
• Flexible Work Environment: Enjoy the flexibility of working from home or from our Brisbane office. Graduates are expected to work in the office when senior lawyers attend, but as competence grows, WFH can be the norm.
• Structured Graduate Program: We have developed our own learning tools to teach graduate lawyers complex tax law topics, and practical skills for advising and advocating for clients.
