The study of tax law and related topics can lead to many different career paths. First, many legal transactions and areas of the law intersect with tax law. In fact, a wide range of corporate and individual transactions (whether buying property, entering a family relationship, acquiring or restructuring ownership in a business entity, to name a few) have tax law implications. So, even if you are not practicing tax law, you are probably going to have to think about the tax law implications of whatever you are doing. Second, those who want to focus their careers on tax more specifically can find themselves working, for example, in tax law departments or property tax or tax credit practices at law firms; in-house at corporations; dealing with statutory, policy, or even constitutional issues in the federal, state or local governments (both executive and legislative governmental entities); or at business consulting firms (such as PwC, KPMG, etc.). Third, a background in tax law provides really good training in navigating often complex statutory and regulatory frameworks. That is a skill that can be relevant to many other areas of practice, including environmental law, administrative law, bankruptcy law, broader careers in government, and more.
