The Role
This is a senior position for someone who has spent their career handling serious IRS and state tax disputes and resolving high-stakes controversies for sophisticated clients before the IRS and state taxing authorities.
Many matters involve multi-million-dollar disputes and sophisticated technical issues. Clients include high-net-worth individuals, closely held businesses, family offices, and professional firms.
This position does not involve the practice of law, the rendering of legal advice, or attorney-client representation. Client representation is limited to administrative practice before the IRS and state taxing authorities as permitted for qualified non-attorney practitioners.

- Represent clients before the IRS and state taxing authorities in examinations, appeals, and collections matters (via Form 2848 power of attorney)
- Handle audits, appeals, deficiency responses, collections alternatives, penalty abatement matters, and Offers in Compromise
- Draft protest letters, position papers, and settlement memoranda
- Develop technical strategy, conduct evidentiary and documentary analysis, and coordinate expert witnesses where needed
- Advise clients directly on their tax exposure and administrative resolution options
- Where a matter requires litigation or court representation, coordinate with outside legal counsel
- Collaborate with NJA's tax planning, estate, and wealth management teams on matters that intersect with broader client strategy
- Mentor and supervise junior controversy staff
- Take ownership of the firm's most complex controversy matters and serve as a senior technical resource within the tax group
- Participate in client relationship development as the practice continues to grow
What We're Looking For
- J.D. from an accredited law school preferred; LL.M. in Taxation strongly preferred
- 15+ years of substantive tax controversy experience before the IRS and state taxing authorities, with meaningful time at a major firm, Big 4, or equivalent high-caliber practice
- Demonstrated experience managing complex IRS examinations and appeals involving significant disputes
- Enrolled Agent, CPA, or admission to at least one U.S. state bar preferred
- Deep working knowledge of the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations, and federal tax procedure
- Strong technical writing, analytical, and advocacy skills
- Comfortable operating as a trusted advisor to high-net-worth individuals and sophisticated business clients
