Senior Legal Counsel (Private Client Tax & Global Mobility) | Head Office

Hi!

We are Boosta , a holding tech company that creates, develops, and invests in digital businesses with global potential. Today, we collaborate with over 800 specialists from different parts of the world, and millions of users use our products and services.

We are looking for a Senior Legal Counsel specializing in Private Client Tax and Global Mobility to advise high-net-worth individuals on cross-border tax planning, relocation, wealth structuring, and personal tax compliance. This role combines strategic advisory work with coordination of local tax and immigration providers across jurisdictions.

What you will do:

Private Client Tax Advisory

Conduct annual tax planning for each principal (HNWI client), covering tax residency, income sources, and planned events of the year — dividends, asset sales, and relocation.

Plan how income is received, including dividends, distributions from investment funds, other payments, and loans, taking into account residency and available special regimes.

Analyze the tax treatment of personal transactions such as real estate, vehicles, art, or business stakes, including acquisition, holding, disposal, and the choice of holding structure.

Obtain and maintain special regimes for new residents and non-doms and monitor the conditions for keeping them.

Global Mobility / Pre-Immigration Tax Planning

Plan pre-immigration and exit processes, including the date of change of residence, day counts, split-year, exit tax, and treaty tie-breakers, synchronized with immigration steps.

Design relocation routes for a principal or family together with immigration providers, covering permit or programme type (employment, business, investment, financial self-sufficiency), sequence of steps, timing, and integration requirements.

Plan the transition from temporary statuses to permanent residence and citizenship, including investment programmes, descent, and naturalisation, as well as the tax consequences and risks of losing status.

• Manage family members’ matters, including reunification, parents’ residency, and children’s statuses.
• Maintain a calendar of immigration events, including renewals, absence limits, and registrations, and control execution by immigration providers.

Wealth Structuring

Analyze the tax treatment of personal holding and investment structures, including companies, funds, foundations, and trusts, and recommend changes where a structure creates risk.

Assess CFC, GAAR, and other anti-avoidance rules applicable to individuals, as well as the clean-up and safe liquidation of inactive foreign companies.

Advise on the tax aspects of succession planning and philanthropic structures.

Advisor Management

• Select local tax and immigration advisors, brief them on a need-to-know basis, and control scope, deadlines, and fees.
• Maintain consistency of tax and legal positions across jurisdictions.

What we expect from you:

Ability to determine a client’s tax residency and plan a change of residence by applying day-count and centre-of-vital-interests tests, split-year rules, exit-tax provisions, and treaty tie-breakers, as well as establishing the safe date and sequence of a move.

Ability to structure how an individual receives income across jurisdictions, including dividends, capital gains, fund distributions, and related-party loans, and calculate the after-tax outcome of each option.

Experience securing and maintaining special regimes for new residents and non-doms, such as Cyprus non-dom, Malta, Polish lump-sum, UK FIG, or equivalents, including eligibility assessment, elections, and monitoring conditions that could lead to loss of status.

Ability to assess and manage CFC, GAAR, and anti-avoidance exposure of individuals holding foreign companies, and plan the orderly wind-down of dormant entities without triggering tax.

Experience analyzing the tax treatment of private structures such as foundations, trusts, personal holding companies, and similar vehicles, including the taxation of beneficiaries and distributions, and recommending changes where a structure creates risk.

Ability to design a relocation route at global-mobility-advisor level, including selecting the permit or programme type, sequencing immigration and tax steps, identifying presence and integration requirements, and briefing and supervising immigration providers. Own filings are not required.

Experience managing personal tax compliance across jurisdictions, including preparing or reviewing returns, CFC and foreign-asset reports, obtaining rulings, handling CRS/FATCA implications, and preparing source-of-wealth / source-of-funds narratives accepted by banks.

• Ability to provide advice that non-specialists can act on, clearly outlining options, risks, and recommendations in Ukrainian and English.
• Legal or tax qualification.

Will be a plus:

Practitioner-level advisory experience in Poland or Cyprus/Malta, with working knowledge of Swiss rules and the UK FIG regime.

Experience structuring and administering family foundations, including the Polish fundacja rodzinna, and planning succession around forced-heirship rules and philanthropic vehicles.

Experience advising on the tax treatment of personal asset purchases and sales abroad, such as real estate, including foreign-buyer restrictions, vehicles, art, or private business stakes.

• Knowledge of residence and citizenship routes, including by investment, by descent, and naturalisation, as well as their tax consequences.
• Experience working with Ukrainian-origin clients and their typical holding structures.
• ADIT, CTA, doradca podatkowy, or equivalent credential.
• Your journey with us:
• Step 1: Pre-screen.
• Step 2: Technical interview.
• Step 3: Test task.
• Step 4: Bar-raising.
