NBLSA Tax Mentor Program

Baker McKenzie
Chicago, IL

Description

The mission of the Baker McKenzie & NBLSA Tax Career Mentor Program is to educate interested NBLSA members about a career in tax law, and simultaneously to dispel the idea that one must have a background or particular interest in tax, math, or accounting to have a successful career in tax law.

Baker McKenzie is committed to a diverse workforce and a culture of inclusion. Our diversity makes our global community stronger and helps us in solving complex problems and designing practical solutions. We understand that organizations work best when people with different backgrounds and multiple points of view are brought together. This inclusion and diversity enriches our environment and allows us to better serve the rapidly changing needs of our clients across the world.

Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must be enrolled in a law school in the US or Canada and be a member of either NBLSA or your respective law school BLSA chapter.

Application Process

Please submit a resume and a cover letter of 500 words or less. In your cover letter, please tell us why you believe this program is right for you and what you hope to gain by participating.

Please note this is a mentor program and does not constitute employment with Baker McKenzie. To be considered for future employment opportunities, all candidates must go through the standard recruiting process for any desired role.
