I am Lance Rothenberg, the founder of Rothenberg Tax Law, LLC, a boutique firm dedicated to federal and state tax controversy, IRS representation, and multistate SALT consulting. I provide guidance to a diverse clientele, ranging from Fortune 100 companies and high-net-worth individuals to small and midsize businesses. My areas of assistance include tax audits, appeals, collection defense, and issues related to nexus and state tax residency, such as domicile, statutory residency, and allocation.
Before establishing my own firm, I practiced at premier international law firms in New York and Washington, DC, and most recently led Tax Controversy Services at a national accounting firm. I have extensive experience representing clients before various tax authorities, including in particular the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, New York City Department of Finance, and New Jersey Division of Taxation.
My focus areas encompass residency audit defense, sales and use tax, remote worker taxation, responsible person assessments, unfiled returns, business taxes, and multistate tax consulting. I am committed to leveraging my deep experience to deliver a client-focused approach in resolving complex tax matters.
