I am French and I live permanently in the U.S. (my wife is
American and I have a green card). I passed the NY bar
exam in 2/07 and my application to get admitted is with
the Third Division in Albany. Hopefully I will be sworn-
in in August. I have been a member of the Paris bar for
16 years. I specialized in international taxation. In
addition to my French legal education, I have an LL.M. in
Taxation from NYU and I am very familiar with the
corporate U.S. tax system. I am also a licensed CPA both
in France and in the U.S. Despite my experience and
credentials I cannot find a job, either with a law firm or
in-house, because I don’t fit any of the categories the
headhunters are used to. I am considering working on a
contract basis for NY law firm(s) that has/have
international tax issues from time to time. Does anybody
have similar experience and/or know any networking groups,
associations, organizations etc, that I could/should join
in order to market myself and find contract work? Any
insight will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
