Tax law rewards precision above all else. Whether the mandate is planning complex cross-border structures, defending a transfer-pricing position before the IRS, or advising a private equity sponsor on deal tax, the difference between a good hire and the right hire is measured in depth of specialisation — not just years in the market.
Sartori & Partners maps 3,000+ tax lawyers across the United States, covering the full spectrum of Tax Planning and Tax Controversy. That market intelligence lets us move with accuracy: we know who holds the specific technical book a client needs, who is open to a conversation, and where genuine scarcity exists.
Tax is one of the most relationship-driven corners of legal recruitment. Partners take their client relationships with them; associates build practices around a mentor's referral network. We account for those dynamics in every search, ensuring continuity of client service is never treated as an afterthought.

How do you find tax lawyers who are genuinely open to a move?
Our coverage of 3,000+ U.S. tax lawyers is built on direct market intelligence, not job-board responses. We maintain an ongoing view of the market across Tax Planning and Tax Controversy, which means we can identify candidates whose circumstances and ambitions align with a specific mandate — before a search is ever publicly visible.
What is the difference between Tax Planning and Tax Controversy recruitment?
They draw on distinct skills and career profiles. Tax Planning mandates typically require transactional depth — structuring, M&A tax, or international tax — where the candidate's deal flow and client relationships are the primary currency. Controversy recruitment focuses on advocacy track record, IRS and appeals-level experience, and litigation temperament. We assess both dimensions and match accordingly.
Can you run a confidential search for a tax partner without alerting the market?
Discretion is standard practice for us, not a premium option. Senior tax partner searches are almost always confidential on both sides — the hiring firm cannot signal a gap, and the candidate cannot be seen to be exploring. We manage that sensitivity through direct, private outreach to individuals we already know, never through broad-market advertising.

The right tax hire begins with a quiet conversation.
Tell us the mandate — we will tell you candidly whether we are the right firm to run it. No obligation, complete discretion.
