Federal Career Opportunities in Tax Law
Why a federal career in tax law? Contrary to popular belief, accounting expertise is not required to excel in this rewarding field. In fact, you don’t even have to be a math whiz! You are invited to hear a panel of federal tax (and non-tax) attorneys discuss the variety of federal career opportunities in the IRS Office of Chief Counsel and the Department of Justice, Tax Division. We will also discuss opportunities for attorneys who want to focus on federal labor and employment practices. Our panel will describe a typical day for experienced and new attorneys working for the Department of Justice, Tax Division, or the IRS Office of Chief Counsel. Following the discussion, the panel will answer your questions. So, by now you may be wondering: are we hiring? YES, and we hope to meet you soon!
