To help clients resolve tax-related disputes quickly and effectively, our tax attorneys draw on our extensive experience in all aspects of tax examinations, administrative appeals, and civil and criminal tax controversies. When federal and state tax authorities fail to respond to our clients’ earnest negotiations or their testimony in hearings, we deploy our experienced tax litigators at trial and in every level of the appellate process.
Our trial attorneys have extensive experience framing arguments in a manner that can help achieve the most favorable results. We regularly represent clients in cases heard before the U.S. Tax Court, the Court of Federal Claims, federal district courts, and various state and local tribunals. We also handle appeals that arise out of cases heard in these and other venues.
To help prevent disputes from arising in the first place, we draw on best practices developed over decades of experience advising clients on all aspects of tax law and litigation. Our integrated approach to problem-solving draws on the resources of all of our firm’s core practices, such as real estate, financial restructuring and insolvency, and corporate and securities, regardless of geographic location. Attorneys from throughout our global offices work with our tax team on matters ranging from standards of practice and preparer penalties to employment taxes, employee/independent contractor status, and responsible officer liability to sales, use and ad valorem taxes. This coordinated approach enables us to help our clients practically and economically achieve their business objectives while resolving their tax disputes.
