Eversheds Sutherland is a heavy hitter in SALT with multiple CA offices, but they litigate a lot so not sure they really have a good WLB. Greenberg Traurig has a meaningful SALT presence in CA but idk anything about it, and Reed Smith is trying to have a presence but the SALT people in their CA offices keep quitting.

Transitioning from com. lit into tax controversy?

I have a tax LLM and started my career out of law school doing M&A tax at a big4. After 9 months, I got out of big4 transactional hell and into whatever litigation I could find. I now practice commercial lit but would welcome the opportunity to eventually transition into tax controversy (which I wasn’t able to do before). Does my commercial litigation “break” hurt my prospect? How long can I stay in com lit without hurting my chances even more?

I have a small kid so it’ll be hard to do the program part time. Should I quit my current job and enroll full time? Meaning lose 1yr salary and taking on a job security risk. TIA!

Anyone have any thoughts on a fair salary for a part time virtual tax prep-focused position?

I have 13 years of experience in a big box franchise where I’ve handled complex returns from day 1. 30% of my workload has been 1120/1120S/1065 and the rest higher-level 1040s and a few 1041s & 990s. I’ll be bringing 75-100 clients with me.
