Job Description

Tax Law & Automation (TLA) is seeking a highly skilled tax attorney with at least five years of experience who wants to work on sophisticated tax matters while enjoying the flexibility of a fully remote environment.

This position is ideal for an attorney who has developed a strong technical foundation and is looking for broader exposure to complex transactional tax work. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in M&A transactions, entity structuring and restructuring, tax planning, partnership taxation, and business advisory work , not solely tax controversy representation.

This role requires 1,800 billable hours annually and offers the opportunity to work closely with firm leadership on matters that have a direct impact on clients' businesses and financial outcomes.
