Ivins, Phillips & Barker Diversity Scholars Program 2025

At Ivins, Phillips & Barker, diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values and business imperatives. As a national boutique tax law firm, we are committed to increasing the pipeline of diverse talent into the legal profession and particularly the tax, benefits and compensation, and estate planning bars. We believe in fostering a supportive firm environment in which all lawyers can thrive as their authentic selves. Our small size and specialized expertise allow our attorneys at every level to contribute meaningfully to client service and other aspects of firm life, all of which are enriched by diverse experiences and backgrounds.

The Ivins, Phillips & Barker Diversity Scholars Program welcomes applications from all first-year law students with a demonstrated commitment to diversity, a record of academic achievement, and an interest in exploring careers in our practice areas. Members of historically underrepresented groups in the legal profession are encouraged to apply but membership in such groups is not a requirement or factor in selection. Applicants for the 2025 Diversity Scholars Program must submit application materials between December 1, 2024 and January 31, 2025, while enrolled in their first year of law school. One Diversity Scholar will be selected in early 2025 and will complete a paid 2025 summer associate position at the firm's Washington, D.C. office.

To submit your application materials, or if you have any questions about the Diversity Scholars Program, please email diversityscholars@ipbtax.com. Learn more about our application process here.
