STATE & LOCAL TAX

States continue to face budget deficits, and state and local taxing authorities are mindful of the shortfall. At the same time, individual and business taxpayers face an ever increasing number of taxes and laws. Preparing for and reacting to a changing tax climate and enforcement landscape is vital to mitigate risk and can also present meaningful opportunities for professionals to drive value. With the recent Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc., which uproots decades of constitutional nexus standards, this is now especially true for tax departments.

We pride ourselves on robust experience advising both on individual state issues and from a national perspective. For decades, domestic and international clients have trusted us to assist with the most complicated state and local tax matters at every level.

Our attorneys provide a broad range of services to clients in state and local tax matters, ranging from compliance and planning to representation during voluntary disclosures, audits, and litigation of complex tax law issues.

Deep connections to federal, state, and local tax administrators give us an inside perspective that only comes after decades of building relationships.

In tax controversy and litigation, whether at the audit or administrative review level or in the courts, we evaluate the core issues at play and develop custom strategies to achieve the best possible outcome.

Whether we are restructuring a transaction to minimize adverse tax impact, handling a multijurisdictional state tax controversy, or consulting on myriad technical issues, our goal is to ensure the right results consistent with each client’s own definition of value and success.
