Approach
The firm approaches indirect tax as a continuum — the advice given at the transaction stage should hold together through audit, adjudication, and appeal. Positions are documented early so that the record before the department is complete and coherent.
Where litigation becomes necessary, the emphasis is on precise legal grounds, a well-built factual record, and timely remedies, whether by appeal or by writ.
