Michael Coravos is a tax controversy lawyer who helps multinational companies and large partnerships resolve high‑stakes Internal Revenue Service (IRS) disputes efficiently and on favorable terms. A former trial attorney with the IRS Office of Chief Counsel, he brings nearly 15 years of inside-the-agency experience to examinations, administrative appeals, and, when necessary, court.
Michael has led complex international and domestic matters involving transfer pricing, subpart F, withholding and treaty claims, effectively connected income, research credits, and cross‑border financial products. He has tried and managed cases in the U.S. Tax Court from inception through post‑trial briefing and has argued significant motions. While at Chief Counsel, he advised the Large Business & International Division (LB&I) and the Independent Office of Appeals on audits of large corporations and partnerships and provided technical guidance to the Department of Justice in bankruptcy, district court, and federal appellate proceedings. He is the recipient of two national awards for outstanding litigation.
In private practice, Michael focuses on avoiding litigation through strategic engagement with IRS stakeholders, rigorous development of facts and litigation hazards, and targeted defense of return positions — while maintaining the credibility and trial readiness that can drive successful resolutions.
