You see that the litigation clerk role is not just a “complementary role”. You see that it is essential to getting the best litigation outcome, faster.

You have litigation knowledge and experience. You have a good handle on the Tax Court Rules. You have experience scheduling examinations for discovery, helping to gather evidence and disclosure, and wrangling witnesses. You see how your work – even the little things – impact the litigation schedule and result.

Requirements

• Counter will consider candidates who have two years’ experience working in tax controversy and litigation.

We are purpose-driven to deliver superior litigation outcomes. We want to add team members who are energized and capable of making progress toward that purpose.

We see that we will not achieve its purpose without equity, diversity, and inclusion. We believe that we increase our collective intelligence when the people on our team have different interests, backgrounds, and experiences. We see that equity, diversity, and inclusion are critical to seeing and thinking in new ways and delivering superior litigation outcomes.

Every Counterpart energizes and divides their time between a few different roles, and we’ll invite you to do the same. Here are some accountabilities that we expect that the successful candidate will deliver.

Litigation Support

• Drafting high-quality litigation and court documents (e.g., procedural timetables, affidavits, motion material) and serving and filing those documents in fewer days than set out in our “target litigation timeline”.
• Communicating frequently and effectively with clients, the Tax Court, and opposing counsel so that all parties collaborate to move the matter faster.

• Gathering evidence, organizing the evidence, and delivering it to the litigation team in fewer days than set out in our “target litigation timeline”.
• Creating and maintaining the litigation team’s “target litigation timeline” and reporting on the same in weekly file meetings.
