Our Tax Litigation Practice

Brown, PC is a boutique law firm that represents carefully selected clients in complex, high-stakes tax and white collar defense litigation. Our clients have included multi-national corporations, members of the Forbes 400, Hall of Fame professional athletes, Grammy Award winning artists, entrepreneurs, C-level executives, and licensed professionals, and we have successfully represented them in some of the most complex cases ever pursued by the federal government.

Our tax clients come to us from all regions of the United States and across the globe. We handle a broad range of tax matters including criminal tax investigations and prosecutions; civil tax litigation in the U.S. Tax Court, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and U.S. District Courts; IRS audits and appeals; IRS collection matters; International Tax and Offshore Compliance cases; and state and local tax disputes.

We are in high demand as expert witnesses and are often called upon to represent licensed tax professionals including attorneys and CPAs when they are targeted by the IRS or Department of Justice. We have a great deal of experience in IRS Global High Net North Industry (GHWIG) cases, and are particularly adept at achieving successful outcomes in complex, high stakes, and contentious tax disputes.

Being involved in a large tax dispute or targeted in a white collar criminal investigation can be extremely stressful We do everything we can to minimize that stress. We communicate. Our team of professionals take client calls whenever possible, and if they cannot, calls are returned and emails are responded to promptly. When circumstances require it, our firm's founder, Lawrence Brown, is available to clients outside of normal business hours.

Our clients are extremely successful. When we need their input, we make not to waste their time. Similarly, while we will do anything and everything within ethical boundaries to achieve our client objectives, we are surgically precise and efficient with the use of our time and consequently our client funds. We do not have multiple layers of billing, so common in larger firms. Discretion and client confidentiality are at a maximum.
