Tax Attorney

A tax attorney advises on and argues about tax law. You might work on the government side, representing an agency in collection matters and disputes, or on the private side, helping individuals and businesses understand their obligations and resolve conflicts. Your days include reading statutes and regulations, researching case law, drafting memos and briefs, negotiating with agencies, and sometimes appearing before administrative bodies or courts. You work closely with accountants, financial advisors, and other lawyers, and you translate complicated rules into clear advice.
