Tax Group at Covington and Burling

Covington’s tax group advises multinational clients on their most significant and challenging tax issues. Our members have extensive government experience, including senior positions at the U.S. Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, and the U.S. Senate. Combined with our talents, focus and creativity, we provide bespoke solutions for sustained tax minimization in an increasingly regulated world. And, in disputes with the tax authorities, we secure favorable results by efficiently resolving matters as early in the administrative process as possible, and, where not possible, we litigate.

Our team has experience across all tax disciplines, regularly working on bespoke issues with some of the largest multinational corporations, global financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds, sports teams and leagues, and foreign governments. We work closely with our clients on matters including structural tax planning for global businesses; transactional tax planning for mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, and restructurings; government representation before the IRS, Treasury, and Congress; resolving domestic and international tax controversies in the Exam, Appeals, litigation, and treaty processes; and the development, documentation, and defense of transfer pricing policies.
