When Jason Wiggam founded Wiggam Law, like many attorneys starting a firm, he wore every hat. “I handled cases, built relationships, managed operations and made every major decision. That approach works in the early stages, but it isn’t a sustainable model for long-term growth or the best way to serve clients facing increasingly complex legal challenges.”
Today’s tax disputes involve far more than interpreting the tax code. “Clients are looking for a trusted advocate who can both explain the law and guide them through one of the most financially and emotionally stressful situations they’ll face.” Wiggam says. “Effective representation requires legal strategy, negotiation, financial analysis and an understanding of how the IRS evaluates and resolves cases. No single professional brings every perspective needed to navigate these matters effectively.”
His team includes tax attorneys, former IRS professionals, tax resolution specialists and support staff who focus exclusively on tax law. “Because tax resolution is all we do, every person on our team brings deep experience to a single practice area. That collective knowledge allows us to approach each matter from multiple perspectives while providing clients with clear guidance and practical alternatives.”
The result? Better decision-making.
Collaboration has become one of their greatest competitive advantages. They regularly challenge one another’s assumptions, explore alternative solutions and leverage each other’s experience to identify opportunities that might be overlooked. “Clients may never see those internal conversations, but they benefit from the resulting well-thought-out advice,” Wiggam says.
Building that kind of team requires a culture where people genuinely want to work together, not just hiring talented professionals.
As the firm has grown, Wiggam has focused on recruiting individuals who possess strong technical skills and share his commitment to collaboration, continuous learning and exceptional client service. “Technical knowledge can be developed over time, but a willingness to support colleagues and prioritize clients ultimately shapes a successful organization.”
A founder’s knowledge is invaluable in creating strong systems. Sharing that wisdom through documented processes allows firms to grow sustainably while maintaining the quality, responsiveness and personal attention that clients expect.
“Perhaps my biggest lesson is that leadership means empowering others,” Wiggam says. “As attorneys, we’re trained to solve problems ourselves. As firm leaders, our responsibility shifts. We create opportunities for talented professionals to develop, contribute and take ownership. When every team member is empowered to lead, the entire organization benefits.”
The legal profession will continue evolving as technology reshapes our practices, Wiggam adds. “Artificial intelligence and automation will improve efficiency, but it won’t replace judgment, strategic thinking or the trust clients place in counsel.”
“After 10 years of experience, it’s clear the strongest firms aren’t defined by one attorney’s reputation. They’re defined by the quality of their people, the strength of their culture and an unwavering commitment to clients. When you invest in those things and build a team united by a common purpose, you create a firm that continues delivering exceptional results long into the future.”
