Meridian Tax Law, a national tax law firm founded and staffed by former federal prosecutors, has reached 25 years of defending individuals and businesses in disputes with the Internal Revenue Service. The firm, with offices in Chicago and New York, has handled more than 2,000 IRS audits across every audit type during that period.

The milestone reflects a sustained record of tax representation built on an unusual foundation. Every senior attorney at Meridian Tax Law arrived from the government side of tax enforcement, having served as Assistant United States Attorneys or prosecutors in the Department of Justice Tax Division. That background gives the firm a direct line of sight into how the IRS and DOJ build cases against taxpayers, and how those cases can be effectively challenged.

“When your attorneys have stood at the other side of the table, they understand what the government is looking for and where its arguments are weakest,” said a firm spokesperson. “That experience is not theoretical. It came from years of prosecuting the same types of matters our clients now face.”

The firm’s practice covers IRS audit defense, tax litigation in federal courts, estate planning, business tax advisory, and international tax compliance. Clients range from individual taxpayers facing correspondence audits to businesses under criminal tax investigation. The firm operates on a nationwide basis, drawing clients from across the United States regardless of where an IRS dispute originates.

Two and a half decades of IRS audit work

Over 25 years, Meridian Tax Law has handled audits of every classification: correspondence audits, office audits, and field examinations conducted by IRS revenue agents. The firm has also represented clients before the IRS Office of Appeals and, where necessary, in the U.S. Tax Court and other federal venues.

The team combines legal credentials with accounting expertise. Several attorneys hold both a law degree and CPA certification, a combination that allows the firm to assess a tax matter from both its legal exposure and its underlying financial detail without referring clients elsewhere. Academic credentials among the team include a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center and an LL.M. in Taxation from New York University.

The 25-year mark comes at a time when IRS audit and enforcement activity has drawn renewed attention from tax practitioners. Congress has directed additional funding toward IRS enforcement infrastructure, and the agency has stated its intention to increase audits of higher-income individuals and certain business structures. For taxpayers who receive an IRS notice or audit letter, the window for response is typically short, and the consequences of an unrepresented reply can extend an audit unnecessarily or expose additional tax years to scrutiny.

What the milestone means for prospective clients

Meridian Tax Law’s duration in practice is relevant to prospective clients for a concrete reason: the firm has seen IRS enforcement priorities shift multiple times and has adapted its defense strategies accordingly. Attorneys who joined the firm after careers in federal prosecution bring institutional knowledge of IRS and DOJ procedures that cannot be acquired from textbooks alone.

The firm offers a free initial consultation to individuals and businesses who have received IRS audit notices, collection letters, or other enforcement correspondence. That consultation is available to clients anywhere in the country through the firm’s Chicago and New York offices.

Businesses with cross-border operations, foreign account reporting requirements under FBAR or FATCA, or unresolved estate tax questions are among the client profiles the firm specifically addresses. Estate planning services are available both as a standalone practice and as part of broader tax dispute resolution.
