Tax laterals, recruited nationwide.
Most tax lawyers already know their lane: transactional, partnership, controversy, or international. The search builds from there.
Naming the tax lane.
We talk through the transactions or disputes you handle, the parts of the Code you work in every day, and whether you support deal teams or run matters yourself. That decides which tax groups Lateral Lock approaches.
- The right tax groups.A partnership-tax lawyer drafting fund agreements, a transactional-tax lawyer embedded on M&A, and a controversy lawyer handling exams and appeals are hired on separate tracks. We target the tax groups built for that lane.
- Firm research.We learn whether each tax group mainly supports other practices or runs its own matters, and how that compares with the work you want.
- Precise materials.We order the resume the way a tax group reads technical experience: the parts of the Code, the deals or disputes, then whether you supported a team or ran the matter. You approve every resume edit before the resume goes out. A short cover letter leads with the lane that firm prioritizes and goes out with the submission unless you ask to see it first.
- Confidentiality and the offer.We introduce you only where you authorize, prepare you for interviews, and help negotiate terms.
