There were a surprising number of summers gunning for tax spots, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1412937&forum_id=2#15958676) |

You're not considering an LLM, right? |

For example, there are long-term restructuring projects that are 100% tax driven--those don't disappear just because the economy sucks. There's also tax controversy, though few big firms have substantial controversy practices. At boutiques the story is different. Advisory work, which is primarily what the little places do, is significantly less cyclical than deal work. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1412937&forum_id=2#15958806) |
