Tax Attorneys

Tips for Entry

Get an internship or part-time job with a law firm that offers tax law services. Ask your school's career services office for help with finding work-study opportunities.

Keep up with tax regulations and developments by reading publications such as TAXPRO Journal (https://www.natptax.com/Publications/TaxProJournal/Pages/default.aspx) and The Economist (http://www.economist.com/topics/tax-law).

Interview a tax lawyer to find out how they got started in their career, what the daily responsibilities are, and what they enjoy most and least about their work. Professional associations such as the National Association of Tax Professionals (https://www.natptax.com) can help you locate a tax lawyer interested in sharing information with students.

Visit the Taxation section of the American Bar Association's Web site to find news, policy information, publications, and upcoming meetings and events that may be useful to attend: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/taxation.html.
