Tax is, quite simply, everywhere – which means the opportunities for tax attorneys are broad. As a tax attorney, you might advise clients on how to make sure their business complies with tax law, represent the Internal Revenue Service in litigation to enforce the law on the books, or help lawmakers shape this dynamic area of law.

We offer a wide range of relevant courses. Not every course is offered regularly, and to be a well-rounded lawyer you should take many other courses as well.
