News and Speaking Engagements
Tax disputes can disrupt a business, expose individuals and organizations to significant liability, and create pressure to make decisions before the full tax and legal consequences are clear. Cullen and Dykman's Tax attorneys represent clients in federal, state, and local tax controversies, with a focus on minimizing exposure, resolving disputes efficiently, and protecting the client's broader business or personal objectives.
The Tax Department handles civil and criminal federal tax controversies, IRS audits and settlements, state and local tax audits, collection matters, administrative proceedings, and tax litigation. When a matter requires specialized financial or investigative support, the team works with appropriate accountants, former IRS agents, and other experts.
