Vacancy details
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Solicitor’s Office and Legal Service (SOLS) is an integral part of HMRC, providing legal services for the whole department.
We advise on legal issues arising from HMRC’s policy and operational work and conduct the department’s litigation.
SOLS is made up of around 1,200 people who include lawyers, tax professionals, advocates, paralegals and support teams. Our legal work is high quality and covers a broad range of different areas of law.
We provide advice on the interpretation and application of legislation and guidance on the full range of HMRC work including advising Treasury ministers on tax law. We work closely with Treasury and HMRC colleagues in developing policy and on proposals for the Budget.
We also implement policy through primary and secondary legislation, principally the annual Finance Bill and in relation to the UK’s exit from the EU. HMRC lawyers produce the highest volume of secondary legislation in the government legal profession.
We conduct litigation in the most significant and valuable cases for HMRC. Our caseload regularly takes us to the higher UK Courts and the European Courts.
We have vacancies for lawyers to undertake both policy and operational advisory work (which includes drafting legislation) and litigation work.
Applications are welcomed from qualified lawyers irrespective of post qualification experience.
We are looking for bright, enthusiastic and ambitious lawyers, with a commitment to delivery for HMRC.
