Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has a large global tax group, led by Victor Hollender in New York and Emily Lam in Palo Alto, that thrives in high-stakes, complex and tax disputes, whether domestic or cross-border. Its work in audits, administrative appeals, Tax Court and district court litigation, and international matters cuts across the whole spectrum of issues, from transfer pricing matters to SALT cases. Raj Madan, who is regarded by one peer as ‘the country’s lead tax litigator’, and Christopher Bowers are the key partners in Washington DC, where the hub of the practice resides. Madan, along with up-and-coming partner Royce Tidwell, Nathaniel Carden, and Palo Alto-based Christopher Murphy handled a multibillion-dollar transfer pricing matter for Amgen Inc., which concerned the licensing of complex biopharmaceutical products from to a Puerto Rican subsidiary. New Chicago-based partner Jonathan Welbel, who joined from Baker McKenzie LLP in 2024, has extensive experience in tax controversy, transfer pricing and a range of other international tax issues, and also played a key role in the Amgen case. Juliana Hunter in Houston is also highly recommended.
