Tax Controversy and Litigation

Greenberg Traurig’s Tax Controversy and Litigation Group advises clients in all phases of federal, state, and local tax disputes. We are highly skilled advocates in pressing arguments supporting the client’s position, in negotiating settlements, and in trials, where we are fierce litigators. Our persuasive arguments and knowledge of and experience with the tax system, its policies, and its procedures provide a strategic advantage in resolving tax disputes.

• Our team represents clients in tax audits, administrative appeals, and in federal, state, and local courts. We also represent clients in criminal tax investigations and prosecutions.
• Our areas of representation include: sensitive (eggshell) audits; tax compliance; reporting positions; employment tax; estate and gift tax valuation disputes; unreported income, civil fraud, negligence, accuracy, and all other tax penalties; complex offshore tax issues and non-compliance; domestic and offshore voluntary disclosures; streamlined filings; tax injunctions; tax shelters; promoter investigations; and Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) inquiries and investigations.
• In the tax collection process, we negotiate installment payment agreements and offers in compromise, defend liens and levies, nominee liens, and handle collection due process proceedings.
