Graduate Tax Program ALUMNI

Without a doubt the UF LL.M. catapulted my career. Not only does the program provide broad and deep exposure to the tax law, it also cultivates the skill set for its graduates to tackle novel and complex tax issues that arise in practice where the rubber meets the road. The full-time grad tax faculty at UF Law are actively engaged in meaningful student development, and I benefitted directly from their commitment to students.

SCOTT BOWMAN, J.D. ‘07 LL.M. ’08, PARTNER AT MCDERMOTT WILL & EMERY LLP

Earning an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Florida allowed me to advance my career in ways I never imagined. It’s an honor and privilege to utilize charitable tax and gift planning to help individuals and families honor their values, build legacy, and support charities. The knowledge I obtained and the relationships I built while in the LL.M. program gave me the tools to shape a career around my passions— philanthropy, art and education.

LULA SARA DAWIT, J.D.’08, LL.M., ‘09 DIRECTOR OF PLANNED GIVING, THE WOODRUFF ARTS CENTER

The UF Law LLM/SJD program has been life changing. I made life-long friends, and the professors and mentors at UF Law inspired me to be both a better tax lawyer and a better person. My three years at UF were challenging, fun, and worthwhile.
