Associate Tax Attorney

Orlando Tax Law is looking to hire an Associate Tax Attorney with 1 – 10 years of experience. We are a high end boutique law firm practicing ONLY tax controversy and litigation and have cases involving IRS audit and collection matters, Tax Court and District Court litigation cases, as well as Florida Department of Revenue cases (and other state taxing authorities).

We are looking for an attorney who is compassionate and cares about the clients; someone who wants to stay with us for the long haul, doing meaningful and impactful work while maintaining a good work-life balance and flexibility. We are a friendly, family-oriented office. We are in casual dress so long as there are no client or IRS appointments.
