Many of our tax lawyers are Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). Our grasp of fundamental accounting principles has helped the firm forge strong, working relationships with small and regional public accounting practices. We are accustomed to partnering with our clients’ financial advisors and accountants to provide a legal perspective on legal and tax issues.

Our tax attorneys are frequent and respected advocates before federal, state and local taxing bodies, including the Internal Revenue Service, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue and the U.S. Tax Court, where we represent clients on a wide variety of issues, ranging from IRS disputes and U.S. Tax Court appeals to sales tax audits and Commonwealth Court appeals.

Our taxation attorneys work closely with the Estates & Trusts Practice Group to effectively address any tax issues involved with complex client situations where both income tax planning and estate planning issues are important to the outcome.
