Mayer Brown has strengthened its tax litigation and controversy capabilities with the arrival of Jenny Austin, who joins the firm as a partner in the Tax Controversy practice in Chicago. Ms. Austin was previously at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.
“Jenny brings impressive experience leading multinational companies in disputes with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which will benefit our clients as they cope with an anticipated increase in tax audits and disputes in the next few years,” said Brian Kittle, a co-leader of Mayer Brown’s Tax Controversy practice. “Jenny shares our vision of utilizing a team of world-class talent to provide innovative and pragmatic advice to clients across the full spectrum of tax litigation matters. She will further enhance the stature of our well-recognized tax team.”
Ms. Austin concentrates her practice on federal tax controversy and litigation, working across all industries, including medical device, pharmaceutical, health care, retail and tech. She guides clients through all stages of tax controversies, from traditional IRS audits to administrative appeals, alternative dispute resolution proceedings, and litigation.
