DESCRIPTION

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.    

  • What are the types of tax practices available?
  • What is a typical day for each of you as a tax partner and associate?
  • Why did you choose tax as your specialty?
  • How does the tax practice at Wilson Sonsini differ from other law firms?
  • How is tax practice different when your clients are mostly tech companies?
  • What is special about practicing tax law for start-ups?
  • You work in different offices of the same firm – can you talk about how collaboration works across offices?
  • How do you work with your colleagues in other practice groups?
