Firm Overview:  

Ivins, Phillips & Barker is exclusively engaged in the practice of federal tax, benefits and compensation, and estate and gift tax law. The firm’s lawyers are nationally recognised to be among the best and brightest, bringing years of government service and corporate experience to bear on its clients’ tax problems. IPB provides seasoned counsel in all major areas of tax law, and offers prompt and efficient attention, whether with respect to the most detailed and intricate of issues, or for rapid responses to emergency situations. Founded in 1935, by two of the original judges on the United States Tax Court, its decades of focus on the intricacies of the Internal Revenue Code and Department of Labor regulations have led numerous Fortune 500 companies, as well as smaller companies, tax-exempt organisations, and high net worth individuals to rely on IPB for answers to their most complicated and sophisticated tax planning problems as well as for complex tax litigation. IPB’s experience has taught it that while the tax code is ever-evolving, for most taxpayers it remains dauntingly complex; the firm’s attorneys keep up on the latest developments in tax reform so that they can provide timely advice on how changes to the law will affect clients and their businesses.
