It depends what your goal is for it. If you’re trying to get to big law, anything other than NYU or Georgetown is a huge risk.
We hired an LLM tax from Villanova. Has worked out great. We are a smaller local firm
LLM is not necessary at the big Philly firms to get a job in tax. Most people in my group don’t have them and I get chided occasionally as having one year less experience than my non-LLM class year peers. Mine is from temple. Having one doesn’t hurt but I probably wouldn’t bother unless you’re switching practice areas or something and need “proof” that you’re serious about practicing tax law.
I’m already an attorney and practice in a tax focused practice area at a non-big law firm. Would be getting an LLM to pad my expertise for additional work and for (hopefully) partnership purposes. From what I’ve seen, an LLM also wouldn’t hurt if I was to lateral during a good market.
Got it. Well it sounds like your head is in the right place. I hope it all works out!
