Tax, Trusts & Estates.

Transactional tax, controversy and private wealth, including trusts & estates and estate planning, spanning law firms, leading consulting and public accounting.

The tax market reaches well beyond the law firms.

Private wealth and tax hires are often made on reputation rather than advert. We know which practices are short-handed and which partners are quietly looking to build.

A market that reaches well beyond law firms. We work across firms, the leading consultancies and public accounting, which widens the field considerably for the right candidate.

Tax Controversy Attorney

Firm
Boutique tax controversy firm
Market
Washington, DC

An attorney with experience in government tax enforcement and litigation, and a Big Four background, sought their first opportunity in private practice. We identified a prestigious boutique law firm whose tax controversy practice would benefit from that background and supported the attorney through the transition. The move offered a specialist platform for long-term career development.

Secured a substantial compensation increase and a lasting move into private practice.

Associate
