Tax Dispute and Litigation Services

Whether you are going through a divorce, business split, civil damage claim, or any number of other contested or litigated matters, the tax ramifications often are key to any resolution between the parties. Additionally, instances, where the federal or state government could file or have filed a criminal complaint, require a unique skill set and a close working relationship with legal counsel. Representation in these matters requires a deep understanding of the ins and outs of the legal process and the relevant tax laws. Withum’s Tax Dispute and Litigation professionals are well-versed in the litigation, mediation, and arbitration process and the protection of our clients’ interests, particularly in the areas of court testimony, the preparation of written opinions, and the protection of client confidentiality and privilege.

Who Do We Represent?

Counsel

In criminal matters, our team of experts typically work in cooperation with legal counsel, typically under a Kovel arrangement so that our advice falls under the umbrella of legal privilege and is protected from unwanted disclosure. We often prepare a written summary of our findings and conclusions and are available to testify in court if necessary.

Individual and Business Taxpayers

In civil matters, our professionals work through counsel or directly with individuals and businesses to help develop the facts and theories of the case. We often prepare a written summary of our findings and conclusions and then are available to testify in court, or in an arbitration/mediation proceeding.
