Provided by Miller & Chevalier Chartered
Miller & Chevalier's tax policy practice represents our clients' interests as Congress enacts laws and as the Treasury Department (Treasury) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) develop guidance to implement those laws. We understand the inner workings of government decision-making processes and have long-standing relationships with the Congressional tax-writing committees, Treasury, and the IRS. That understanding comes from our lawyers' experience in senior tax policy-making positions; two have served as Majority Tax Counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means and another is a former IRS Commissioner. The combination of our government experience with technical tax proficiency distinguishes our practice and offers our clients a distinct advantage.
Our tax policy practice creates and implements strategies to enact, modify, or oppose tax legislation. We analyze legislation for our clients and alert them to risks and opportunities. We help craft strategies and prepare materials to promote and support those strategies, including position papers, Congressional hearing testimony, proposed statutory language and legislative history, and revenue estimate requests. Once legislation is enacted, we represent clients before Treasury and the IRS, providing suggested guidance, written comments, and public hearing testimony regarding regulations and other administrative guidance.
