Does anyone have insight into Houlihan and/or Alvarez for M&A tax? I don’t know anyone at either firm, so I thought I’d ask. The pay seems similar (maybe little higher at A&M but depends on bonuses), but can anyone help me compare the two in other ways? Any info helps but I’m curious about complexity of deals (vs B4), WLB, culture, growth potential (for the deals group and the firm overall), and any other differences I should think about. Thanks so much!

I’m not in tax at A&M and can’t comment on WLB, culture, etc but I know that our tax firm is a full service global tax firm that came out of Andersen when it collapsed under Enron. That’s why it’s called A&M TaxAnd - the “And” stands for Andersen as the member firms wanted to keep some of the heritage in the name. It’s grown a lot since then and is supposedly the largest global tax firm outside the B4. At least that’s what they tell us. Not sure how that compares to what they have for tax globally at HL

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
