Description:
Wiggam Law is a premier tax controversy firm recognized for our rapid growth and uncompromising results. We are currently seeking a Senior Tax Attorney who is a true "Student of the Law"—someone who thrives on the complexities of Tax Court litigation, offshore compliance, and high-value audits.

This role is designed for the attorney who wants their legacy to be built on technical mastery and client victories. While we don't require you to bring a book of business on day one, we are looking for a professional with a business-minded spirit who is excited to help us continue our trajectory as a national leader in tax controversy.

Why Wiggam Law?

The 1,650-Hour Advantage: We believe high-performance shouldn't lead to burnout. Our 1,650 annual billable requirement ensures you can handle complex litigation while still making it home for dinner and family milestones.
A "Huge Plus" for Growth: While your primary focus is technical execution, we highly value and financially reward business development. If you enjoy building a personal brand, speaking, or networking, we provide the resources and mentorship to help you thrive.
Collaborative Excellence: You will receive direct support and mentorship from the firm's partners on the most sensitive federal and state tax matters.

Responsibilities:

Lead Case Strategy: Act as the lead strategist for a diverse portfolio of complex federal and state tax matters, architecting the strategy from initial audit through final resolution.
High-Stakes Litigation: Draft and file Georgia Tax Tribunal/Court petitions, Federal Tax Court petitions, Federal Court of Claims litigation, Federal District Court litigation, motions, and trial memos; represent clients in the United States Tax Court, Federal Court of Claims, and Federal District Court proceedings and state revenue hearings and the Georgia Tax Court/Tribunal.
Forensic Substantiation: Conduct deep-dive reviews of client financial records and bank statements to build a "bulletproof" evidentiary foundation for legal arguments.
Complex Negotiations: Lead high-level conferences and settlement negotiations with IRS Appeals Officers, Revenue Officers, and state tax authorities.
Technical Quality Control: Serve as the firm's technical "anchor" by reviewing major protests, filings, and complex tax resolution strategies to ensure they meet the firm's standards.
Advanced Controversy Matters: Direct the strategy for sensitive and technical legal matters, including any new IRS enforcement campaigns, complex audits and litigation, Offshore asset compliance, Voluntary Disclosures, and complex collections matters
Sophisticated Client Management: Act as the primary point of contact for high-net-worth individuals and business owners, translating complex IRS procedures into clear, actionable advice.

Qualifications:

The Credentials: Active Bar License (Required). Admission in the United States Tax Court, the United States Federal Court of Claims, and the Federal District Court.
The Experience: 5-10+ years of dedicated tax controversy experience. You should feel equally comfortable in a high-stakes negotiation with a Revenue Officer as you do drafting a Tax Court petition.
The Mindset: You are a "Chess Player" who looks three moves ahead. You are detail-oriented, collaborative, and possess a legitimate passion for tax law.
Technical Mastery: Deep knowledge of audits, appeals, litigation, collection, and penalty abatement procedures.
Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to translate complex tax law into actionable strategy for both clients and junior staff.
Software Proficiency: Experience with legal practice management software (e.g., Clio), Adobe, and the MS Office Suite.
