Tax Associate Attorney/Counsel
Location Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Date Posted April 16, 2026 Job ID 14462 Employment Type Direct Hire
Tax Associate Attorney (Mid-Level or Senior)
Location: Dallas-Fort Worth (Hybrid) or Fully Remote
Compensation: $150K-$188K base + generous quarterly bonuses
About the Opportunity
A fast-growing, highly respected business law firm is expanding its Tax practice and seeking a mid-level or senior Tax Attorney to join its team.
This is a unique opportunity to work on sophisticated, high-value tax planning and/or transactional matters for entrepreneurs, closely held businesses, and high-net-worth clients-all within a collaborative, low-ego environment that prioritizes quality over volume.
What You'll Do
Structure and implement advanced transactional tax strategies
Advise on and support:
M&A and tax-efficient restructurings
Partnership and corporate structuring
QSBS (Section 1202) planning
Reorganizations and recapitalizations
Draft and review:
Tax memoranda
Transactional documents and implementation plans
Collaborate with corporate attorneys, CPAs, and advisors on complex, multi-party transactions
(Senior level) Lead client relationships, manage matters end-to-end, and mentor junior attorneys
What We're Looking For
4-8 years (mid-level) OR 8+ years (senior) tax experience
Strong background in transactional tax planning and drafting
Experience with partnerships, corporate structuring, and deal execution
LL.M. in Taxation preferred (or equivalent experience)
Big 4 or accounting firm experience welcomed (substantive planning required)
Ability to work independently with precision, ownership, and strong execution discipline
Licensed in Texas or eligible for admission
Why This Role Stands Out
No rigid billable hour requirement
Transparent, objective bonus structure with significant upside
Work on complex, intellectually engaging tax strategies-not compliance
Hybrid or fully remote flexibility
Clear path for leadership, growth, and practice development
Collaborative culture with direct partner access and meaningful responsibility
The Bottom Line
This is an ideal role for a technically strong tax attorney who wants to do high-level, impactful work in a modern, growth-oriented firm-without the constraints of traditional BigLaw models.
