Tax doesn't immediately come to mind when we talk about career paths in technology law. But it should. Tax law is critical to deals in the tech space, and tax lawyers are critical to those deals. What career paths are available and how do they differ? How do you investigate the options and the firms in this area? Two leading tax attorneys guide us through this intersection of tax and tech.
