Miller & Chevalier has announced the addition of Michael J. Desmond, who served as 48th Chief Counsel of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), as co-leader of its tax controversy and litigation practice. Desmond brings decades of experience in federal tax disputes, policy, and litigation. "Clients come to me for unique solutions to complex problems and a firm like Miller is a more flexible platform," said Desmond. "It has a very robust tax policy element to it and I do a lot of that work as well... just a much better fit for the unique nature, kind of bespoke nature of my work for my clients." Desmond's arrival reinforces Miller & Chevalier's reputation as a destination for top tax talent and strategic counsel in Washington's evolving regulatory landscape.
