AI Fluency:
Norm Ai expects all team members to be fluent in AI. Successful candidates actively use AI in their day-to-day work to support thinking, creation, and problem-solving. They use it to improve the quality and speed of their work and to continuously refine how work gets done end-to-end.

Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate and discuss their AI usage throughout the interview process, including concrete examples of tools, workflows, and outcomes. We look for practical, hands-on experience, not theoretical familiarity.

Tax Associate, Private Investment Funds
This Role
As a Tax Associate at Norm Law, you will support a 360-degree funds tax practice representing marquee managers across private equity, real estate, venture, and hedge. You'll work on the full arc of fund work — entity structuring, fund formation, manager advisory, and portfolio transactions — while using AI agents to handle the research and drafting that used to consume billable hours.

Our practice embraces the use of AI to reduce burden and increase your ability to focus on strategic legal judgment and client engagement.
