Rocco V. Femia

Rocco Femia represents large, multinational corporate clients in high-stakes U.S. international tax and transfer pricing planning, controversy, and policy matters. He is a former official at the U.S. Department of the Treasury and delegate to the OECD and brings this perspective to bear in advising clients. Mr. Femia has been recognized as one of the country's leading international tax practitioners by Chambers USA and The Best Lawyers® in America, among others, for over a decade. Mr. Femia was described by clients in Chambers as "a great lawyer and great on the transfer pricing side."

Mr. Femia's practice focuses on counseling and advocacy work on behalf of U.S. and foreign-based multinational enterprises across multiple industries. These projects typically involve complex, highly technical U.S. international tax, tax treaty, and transfer pricing issues often involving hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. 

Mr. Femia counsels clients with respect to the implications of international tax developments and enforcement initiatives – including Pillar 2 minimum taxes being considered around the world – on cross-border supply chain, intangible holding, and financing structures.  This work has included advice related to restructuring or other planning to avoid inappropriate results, and engagement with policymakers. Mr. Femia's transfer pricing work includes advisory work related to new business arrangements and transfers of intangible property, the negotiation of Advance Pricing Agreements with the IRS and other tax authorities, the resolution of disputes through the Competent Authority or MAP process and the resolution of disputes with the IRS through the administrative Appeals process and litigation. 

Mr. Femia has led large teams of attorneys and other professionals in executing these matters, drawing on a pool of talented personnel at Miller & Chevalier and working together with client resources to achieve remarkable results.
