Accounting firms (in the US) are restricted from giving legal advice. Outside the US (in many places) law firm subsidiaries called EY Law, Deloitte Law, etc are related law firms to make these firms one stop shops.

Most legal type work by an accounting firm (in the US) is in the tax group which is client-facing. The legal services groups tend to just be internal for managing HR, contracting, and so on, but not advising external clients due to these restrictions (in the US).

I’m not sure about that specific group title because it would depend on jurisdiction and the Big 4 are constantly shuffling the titles of their practice groups around (both internal and client facing).

1. As noted above, CPA firm is prohibited from providing legal advice in the U.S.
2. Tax matters are the joint purview of attorneys and CPAs.
3. Deloitte provides litigation support in some cases, such as forensic experts and technology-based solutions for managing/analyzing large amounts of data. I’m not sure a legal background would be helpful here.

Personally, I’m in tax and enjoy it just fine. We spend lots of time reading regulations, researching case law, drafting technical memos and following proposed legislation.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
