BakerHostetler

The tax controversy practice at BakerHostetler has substantial capacity and experience, which leads it to be involved in some groundbreaking matters. A prime example is its work in Moore v. United States, which challenges the Mandatory Repatriation Tax imposed by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Tax group chair Jeffrey Paravano in Washington DC led that matter. He co-leads the tax controversy and litigation group with Michelle Hervey in Cleveland, and Elizabeth Smith in New York, who has notable experience in the hedge fund industry and in New York state residency and domicile audits and cases. Other key names include DC-based veteran tax expert Paul Schmidt, and Nicholas Mowbray, who handles matters involving international tax, and the taxation of financial products. Tax litigator David Ebersole in Columbus is an emerging talent.
