Holland & Knight LLP

Holland & Knight LLP continues to build its tax controversy and litigation practice, which has a strong focus on the energy sector, but also handles complex in many other industries. Its recent success for Exxon Mobil in a proceedings brought by the IRS in the wake of of the company’s restructuring of its partnership with the state of Qatar is a prime example of its ability to handle complex matters, but so is its work for major airlines, technology companies, high-net-worth individuals, and real estate developers. Mary McNulty in Dallas, who led the Exxon case, and Atlanta-based William Sharp, who is frequently lead counsel in offshore compliance matters,  are the lead partners. Up-and-coming partner Lee Meyercord in Dallas and energy sector specialist Amish Shah in Washington DC also play pivotal roles in the practice. Also in DC, Christopher Rizek joined from Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered, where he co-led the tax controversy practice.
