Cynthia Rowland is an attorney who specializes in tax law and is an advocate of women achieving leadership positions in the legal profession. In the case of the latter, Rowland voices many of her views at her legal blog, "Leadership, Women, Lawyers" with posts that are at once personable, humorous and insightful. Though the blog appears themed for women, Rowland's writing alone is worth reading, as much for its candid style as its content. She doesn't get much mention around legal blogging circles, though fellow legal blogger Michele Fabio did refer to an interesting list of book recommendations that Rowland assembled. It would also appear that Rowland carries a formidable reputation as an attorney, having practiced law for 20 years, and the website avvo.com backs her up with a "good" rating of 6.7. Rowland appears in legal stories by other publications from time to time as well, such as a recent article by Law.com on business potentials in the non-profit sector. A benefit to hiring a tax professional with as much experience as Rowand has is that one can usually expect a wide coverage of services, and Rowand does not disappoint in that regard, having experience in such matters as drafting shareholder agreements and nonprofit tax, and has worked with both individuals and corporations. Cynthia Rowand certainly seems to bring a respectable mix of insight, experience and personality as a top tax attorney.
