In addition, our attorneys are experienced in resolving state and federal tax controversies and litigation before the Internal Revenue Service, courts and administrative agencies. These include tax audits, administrative appeals, and tax litigation in state and federal courts.

Tax law is intertwined with all other areas of practice. As a result, our attorneys advise clients daily on tax-benefit options. Most of the attorneys in the tax section have advanced LL.M degrees.
