- Advising clients on tax implications of deal structures, due diligence, and post-transaction integration
- Providing transaction support on real estate acquisitions and disposals, including structuring and due diligence
- Working closely with clients operating across the commercial, residential, development and landed estate sectors
- Managing and developing strong relationships with corporate and real estate clients
- Providing strategic tax advice that aligns with clients' commercial objectives
