Kirkland’s Tax Disputes group provides skilled and experienced advocacy on behalf of clients at every stage of the tax controversy process, from pre-audit planning, to audit through administrative appeals and post-appeals mediation, in competent authority matters, and in tax litigation in Federal and state courts. Kirkland’s Tax Disputes attorneys bring a wealth of experience in dealing with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other taxing authorities to resolve high stakes and complex disputes effectively and efficiently.
By working to resolve disputes at the earliest possible stage, Kirkland’s Tax Disputes group has a proven track record of reaching favorable outcomes for our clients without resorting to formal tax litigation. However, when consensual resolution at the administrative level is not possible, the Tax Disputes group has experience in successfully trying—and winning—complex and high-profile tax disputes. The Tax Disputes attorneys understand both complex substantive tax issues and how to manage and present a case effectively, and have represented clients before all judicial levels.
