Overview

Tax

The tax law practice came first at Chamberlain Hrdlicka. Our firm was founded by tax lawyers who served with distinction in the trial section of the Tax Division of the United States Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service Office of the Chief Counsel. Our first clients retained us for our expertise in tax law, and our early success as tax attorneys provided the foundation for the growth of our firm.

Tax law remains a core strength of our diversified commercial law practice as our firm has expanded from Houston to Atlanta, Philadelphia, and San Antonio. With over one-third of our lawyers either practicing primarily or having a strong background in tax law, many of our tax attorneys have worked with the IRS or Department of Justice Tax Division.

Additionally, our tax group includes many lawyers who are board certified in tax law, hold advanced degrees in tax law, are certified public accountants, have clerked at the U.S. Tax Court, or have worked as in-house tax counsel for large multi-national corporations. Our tax lawyers are frequent speakers at continuing education programs throughout the country and internationally, and a number of our lawyers either teach or have taught tax courses at leading law schools.

Our clients include a wide range of public companies, privately-held businesses, partnerships and joint ventures, individuals, trusts, estates, and tax-exempt organizations. We advise and represent our clients with respect to all aspects and phases of domestic and international tax planning and tax controversy matters. We routinely guide transactions through the most complex and difficult tax rules.

Many of our tax attorneys devote all or substantially all of their practice to representing taxpayers in tax controversy matters before the IRS and state taxing authorities, and in the federal and state courts. This gives us first-hand experience with how governmental agencies and the courts interpret and enforce the tax laws, and we apply this unique knowledge to the benefit of all our clients.
