Tax controversies
Our corporate tax team acts for clients in disputes and litigation over federal, state and local tax matters. We represent clients in matters concerning income, estate and gift taxes, and sales and use taxes.
We have particular experience in representing clients in estate, gift and income tax audits, and we negotiate with both the federal and the state tax authorities. Where possible we seek to resolve issues out of court.
