Practice Areas

Businesses call Clark for practical and efficient guidance on state and local taxes. He regularly represents clients in their most important state tax disputes across the country, and he has helped clients save millions in potential tax liability. Clark represents clients in state tax controversy and litigation matters in Georgia, California, and other states before state and city taxing authorities, state trial and appellate courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court. He has an unusually broad range of experiences in state and local taxes that are off the radar of many multistate practitioners, and he has worked extensively in representing clients in appeals from state transfer pricing assessments, in helping buyers and sellers to resolve complex SALT exposure issues that arise in public and private M&A, and in advising businesses and insurers on policies involving SALT risks. Clark also has a significant property tax practice and has saved clients millions of dollars by securing property tax exemptions for nonprofit clients and negotiating abatements and other incentives for energy businesses and through challenges to above-market assessments of taxable properties.
