With the IRS and state and local taxing agencies aggressively enforcing evolving tax laws, you and your organization are under closer scrutiny than ever. Audit rates are increasing, and taxing authorities are employing a variety of tools to assess and collect taxes and impose penalties for non-compliance. They may even go as far as criminally prosecuting egregious violators of the tax laws. The pressure is on—whether you are facing an audit, tax litigation, or a criminal investigation, you need experienced tax litigators to guide you through the tax controversy process
