There are many types of litigation a person may go through, but perhaps the most complicated are business litigation and tax litigation. Business disputes may occur between and within businesses, and individuals can pursue a claim to recover lost monetary damages and other relief. Tax litigation is necessary when there is a tax controversy that must be resolved, typically in the United States Tax Court. When any of these issues arise, it is important that individuals speak to a litigation lawyer who can represent them in the proper court and ensure their rights are upheld.
Business litigation can be detrimental to a business. It can ruin relationships, take focus away from general operations, and have many other negative impacts. A few of the most common disputes that arise in business litigation include:
All of these disputes involve very complex issues and a Chicago litigation lawyer can help with all of them.
When a taxpayer cannot or does not desire to settle a matter against the IRS at the administrative level (i.e., during an audit or appeals within the IRS), sometimes it is necessary to interpose litigation against the IRS or the United States of America. The members of the Tax Controversy and Tax Litigation Team at Harrison & Held, LLP regularly litigate federal tax cases in the United States Tax Court, United States District Court, and the United States Court of Federal Claims. The type of tax, the type of taxpayer, and other facts and circumstances will determine which court to a taxpayer will file a Petition or Complaint.
