Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered

Every day, taxpayers make important business and personal financial decisions that can affect their tax burden. At Caplin & Drysdale, our primary goal is to ensure that our clients are well informed on the tax consequences of their decisions and are given the opportunity to consider alternate approaches aimed at reducing their tax burden.

Our tax lawyers comprise one of the preeminent groups of tax practitioners in the country. Many came to the firm from clerkships or senior positions at the Treasury Department, Justice Department, or IRS. We represent a full range of clients, from individuals to multinational corporations. We handle a broad spectrum of tax matters, including resolving major tax disputes, planning complex international transaction, and providing counsel to many of the largest and most prestigious non-profit organizations in the world. We rarely handle "routine" tax matters; most of our engagements involve issues of first impression requiring creativity and sophisticated legal analysis. Robert E. Scott, Dean of the University of Virginia School of Law, has even described Caplin & Drysdale as "one of the most important places in the United States for the practice and development of tax law. It is not only a place where people and firms with serious tax problems seek assistance. It is an incubator for tax talent...."
