Hi all,
A bit of background: I come from a non-Law background. I read Management at university and have been working in a technical role for the past four years. Due to the nature of my work, I have been developed a keen interest in Tax law and looking to really transfer careers into corporate taxation (ideally, for a financial services firm).
I'm a bit split on how to proceed here. I come from a very credentials-based nation and having a Masters is crucial to get into the field. The Harvard LL.M would be splendid, especially due to the strength of its Tax faculty.
I clearly do not meet the entrance requirements and as it stands, and would most likely need to get some form of legal training and experience before I apply. My question therefore is how best to proceed from here: does it make sense to go back to school for three years and get an LLB or does it make more sense to simply apply for another LL.M (say, in the Netherlands or Austria, who have very strong tax programs) and then perhaps give Harvard a shot?
Thanks a bunch!
Regards,
Malthusian
