What makes Washington, DC tax talent different from other major markets?
The DC tax bar is defined by its policy proximity. A significant share of practitioners here have rotated through Treasury, the Joint Committee on Taxation, or IRS Chief Counsel, giving them a legislative and regulatory fluency that purely transactional markets rarely develop. When companies that operate in regulated or internationally exposed sectors need that combination of technical depth and government-facing credibility, Washington is the talent pool they draw from.

We currently have 32 live tax roles in Washington, spanning 11 partner-level and 21 associate or counsel positions. Most mandates in this market are handled confidentially — these are the roles we are in a position to share openly.
What compensation do tax roles in Washington typically offer?
