Tax Controversy & Litigation
Our tax practice involves civil and criminal tax litigation and administrative tax controversies. Our tax litigation attorneys represent individuals, corporations, nonprofit organizations and other business entities in a number of tax audits at federal, state and local government levels. We also regularly represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service Appeals Division and a number of state and local tax departments.
McGuireWoods tax controversy and litigation lawyers provide comprehensive legal advice to domestic corporations, joint ventures, partnerships, investment groups and other enterprises — as well as to foreign entities and individuals seeking to do business in the United States — before all judicial forums that handle tax matters. These include the United States Tax Court, United States Bankruptcy Courts, United States District Courts, United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and many state trial and appellate courts.
Many of our tax attorneys have earned post-graduate degrees in taxation and possess a tremendous amount of experience litigating federal, state and local tax issues before all courts and administrative agencies. This allows us to offer clients the sophisticated tax training and skills required to litigate the appropriate tax treatment for transactions and other events of tax import before the courts in the most cost-effective manner, with a high degree of confidence.
McGuireWoods clients’ tax litigation matters are handled by attorneys who have significant litigation experience, a unique characteristic that allows our team to manage complex cases and control fees and costs for our clients, setting us apart from other law firms that frequently must assign both a tax lawyer and a non-tax litigator to a tax controversy.
