Tax attorneys serve either private clients or government entities in both litigation and transactional capacities, practicing across federal and state jurisdictions. When representing clients, tax lawyers provide strategic guidance on transaction structuring and financial planning to optimize tax outcomes. Government tax attorneys typically focus on interpreting and drafting tax laws or investigating potential violations. These legal professionals also handle disputes between taxpayers and the IRS through litigation processes.
