Tax Controversy and Procedure

Our tax practice and procedure attorneys have extensive experience representing clients before the Internal Revenue Service, the Oklahoma Tax Commission and courts having jurisdiction over tax matters.  This experience, involving a broad range of substantive tax issues and industries, allows us to bring practical and innovative approaches to resolving tax disputes at all levels, understanding how particular types of cases are likely to be resolved and at what level.  This perspective allows us to aggressively represent taxpayers in a way that proactively manages the matter rather than reacting to and ceding initiative to the taxing authority.  In addition to handling disputes arising from substantive areas that are the primary focus of planning transactions and business structures, our practice and procedure attorneys have special expertise in areas that commonly generate disputes, such as:

• Practice & procedure
• Business deductions
• Accounting methods
• Employment tax
• Penalties
• State credits
• Freedom of Information Act
• Private letter rulings
