About

Provided by Chamberlain Hrdlicka

Chamberlain Hrdlicka’s nationally recognized Tax Controversy & Litigation Practice is composed of attorneys experienced in advising and representing taxpayers before federal, state and local taxing authorities and in all federal and state courts in which tax disputes are litigated. 

What separates a true tax controversy firm from those who profess to handle “tax controversies” is the combination of many critical elements, including:

  • Substantive tax expertise on a wide array of sophisticated tax issues,
  • Comprehensive understanding of the nuances of tax procedure and the tax controversy process,
  • Extensive knowledge about, and experience dealing with, the IRS, the Department of Justice and state taxing authorities, and
  • A proven track record of successfully litigating unresolved tax claims. 

Our clients range from the largest multinational corporations to every other conceivable form of business entity, estates, trusts, individuals and nonprofit organizations. Our client engagements cover the full spectrum of substantive tax issues involving income, estate and gift, employment, excise taxes and tax-exempt entities.
