About International Tax Review and the Americas Tax Awards

Established in 1990, International Tax Review is a leading monthly publication on international tax strategy and cross-border tax issues. In June and July 2013, International Tax Review asked law firms and tax advisory firms to submit examples of their best work in M&A and capital markets tax transactions, tax disputes, indirect tax, restructuring and transfer pricing. Additional awards for the best deals and for the tax law and tax policy firms of the year were judged from these submissions. International Tax Review's editorial staff considered these submissions and information obtained through interviews with tax directors and peer interviews to compile shortlists and choose winners for each of the country and regional awards. The U.S. city areas include tax professionals based in the surrounding area within a 150-mile radius. The awards represent the views of the magazine about the leading tax advisers in the Americas based on their work in the past 12 months.
