Michael Lambert is an associate in the Corporate Department, where he focuses on tax controversy matters. He counsels a broad range of clients — including corporations, partnerships, and individuals — before the Internal Revenue Service and in disputes before the U.S. Tax Court and federal district and appeals courts. Michael assists clients through all stages of the controversy process, from audit and examination through appeals and litigation, helping them navigate complex tax disputes with clarity and strategic focus.
Michael works closely with clients to assess risk, develop practical resolution strategies, and advocate effectively in high-stakes matters involving federal tax issues. He works with C-corporations, S-corporations, and partnership entities across a variety of industries, providing a strong command of complex statutory and regulatory frameworks and careful attention to detail.
Before pursuing a legal career, Michael built substantial experience in tax advisory and due diligence in the professional services sector. That business-side background gives him a grounded, commercial perspective on the tax implications of major transactions — an advantage clients value when facing audit.
