About Elan
Elan Kaney combines advanced tax training with years of courtroom admissions and community leadership. She pursued graduate legal study after law school and built a practice shaped by both academic work and local civic involvement.
She earned a J.D. from Emory University School of Law in 2001 and completed an LL.M. in Tax at New York University School of Law in 2002. Those credentials anchor her understanding of federal tax rules and the technical side of tax controversy. The additional year of study at NYU provided specialized training in tax law that complements her general legal education.
Over the years Kaney has secured the right to appear in several federal forums. She is admitted to practice in Florida and to appear before the United States Tax Court. Her admissions also include the Eleventh Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. Those credentials have allowed her to handle matters that require federal appellate or specialized tax-court practice.
Her professional life has run alongside steady civic engagement. She served as Campaign Director for the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties in 2009 and later as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors for the same United Way in 2011. She was Secretary of the Dunn Blount Inn of Court in 2010. Since 2015 she has been on the leadership committee of the Halifax Humane Society. Those posts reflect repeated volunteer leadership in local non-profit and professional organizations.
Kaney has maintained active bar and association memberships for much of her career. She has belonged to the American Bar Association since 2002 and to the Volusia-Flagler Association of Women Lawyers since 2012. Her sustained participation in these organizations has kept her connected to developments in both tax and general practice, and to the regional legal community.
She practices at KaneyLaw, where her work draws on her tax education and her federal admissions. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical; clients have turned to her for matters that intersect tax law and litigation. Her background in tax study and her courtroom credentials inform the types of cases she accepts.
