Careers in Tax: A Law Student’s Guide to What Tax Lawyers Actually Do

1:00 p.m. – 1:05 p.m.

Welcome and Introduction

1:05 p.m. – 1:50 p.m.

Careers in Tax

Tax Law is not necessarily what you would expect. It is a broad-based practice, with different substantive focus areas in federal as well as state and local law. It covers a range of opportunities that spans the public sector, private sector, non-profits, think tanks and academia. 

Join us for a discussion led by tax practitioners with experience in government, the private sector and academia, who will speak about their career trajectories and what they do on a day-to-day basis and will offer some helpful advice on how to pursue a career in tax. Learn about opportunities available to student members and newly admitted attorneys through membership in the NYSBA Tax Section. There will be a question-and-answer period at the end of the session.
