tax lawyer

Revenue code expert

A tax lawyer is an attorney specializing in tax law—the rules governing how governments collect revenue from individuals and businesses.

Tax lawyers help clients minimize tax liability, structure transactions, navigate audits, and resolve disputes with tax authorities.

The field requires expertise in constantly changing regulations: We hired a tax lawyer to handle the IRS investigation.

Distinguished from accountants, who prepare returns; tax lawyers handle legal strategy and litigation.
