Tax Controversies & Related Actions

“…a highly regarded boutique noted for its expertise in handling commercial litigation, with particular strengths in healthcare, business torts and tax-related disputes.”

Tax controversies are often the province of specialists, who handle nothing but disputes with the federal government, states, or local municipalities. Tax specialists seldom practice outside of their niche area, confining themselves to those matters – often missing the forests for the trees.

Massey & Gail recognizes that when litigating against or negotiating with tax authorities, the playing field is tilted against us. We bring our perspective borne from decades of broad, generalist practice to tax controversies and disputes – providing a holistic approach that marries persuasive advocacy with technical expertise. For this reason, clients – including Fortune 100 companies – have relied on us to represent them in such matters when tens of millions or even billions of dollars are at stake. Similarly, we have considerable experience in the trial and appellate courts, handling civil cases and class actions, in which the liability theories involve a significant tax component.
