During the past thirty years, the firm’s attorneys have been involved in hundreds of administrative tax controversies involving U.S., foreign and state taxing agencies. In addition, its attorneys have participated in hundreds of tax cases in various federal and state courts. These cases have involved domestic and international tax issues, including matters involving intellectual property, foreign and domestic tax credits, income tax treaties, intercompany pricing (section 482), and many other areas. The firm has also been involved in countless settlement negotiations with taxing agencies. Because of the depth of its experience and expertise in tax matters, it is often retained directly by other law and accounting firms as legal consultants and to direct overall case strategy.

The firm also has extensive experience defending micro-Captive Insurance Cases throughout the IRS audit process, including client interviews, document requests and settlement negotiations. In March 2015, the firm litigated the first micro-Captive Insurance Case in U.S. Tax Court.
