About the Forum
For more than 15 years, the NYU School of Professional Studies Tax Controversy Forum has brought together government representatives and expert private practitioners to share their perspectives on a variety of topics involving federal tax audits, appeals, and litigation. The forum covers a wide range of controversy work, from procedural seminars to substantive programs, international issues, ethical problems, current enforcement initiatives, sensitive audits, and civil and criminal tax penalties.
We’ll be gathering in person at the Westin New York at Times Square. The hotel is located in the heart of New York City, just steps from Times Square and near major Broadway show venues, flagship retail shopping, and fine dining restaurants. We invite you to come and experience the city, all while renewing friendships, networking, and hearing from some of the brightest legal minds in the tax bar.
