About Christopher Murphy

My practice focuses on tax controversy and litigation. I represent multinational corporations and financial institutions through the full range of federal income tax controversy proceedings, including audit, administrative appeals, and trial and appellate judicial proceedings. My experience includes a wide range of complex tax issues, including economic substance and business purpose, foreign tax credits, debt/equity, transfer pricing and a variety of partnership issues. I also have represented various pro bono clients in tax and non-tax matters, including securing disability benefits for a pro bono client in a Social Security appeal. I have been recognized annually as a leading tax attorney in International Tax Review’s Tax Controversy Leaders guide. In certain jurisdictions, this may be considered attorney advertising.
