Huge news for all of us in the tax world, including those of us with a California connection. Chuck Rettig is the most accomplished tax lawyer, to come out of the state of California in my lifetime. It is a true honor for us at a tax focused law firm Chamberlain Hrdlicka, with nearly 80 trained tax lawyers, to have the likes of Chuck Rettig join us.
I was fortunate to follow, about a decade after Chuck, to also serve as the chair of the tax section of the State Bar of California. He has no peers in what he has accomplished professionally in the tax field.
Here’s part of our firms press release of today:
Former IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig Joins Chamberlain Hrdlicka
ATLANTA/HOUSTON/SAN ANTONIO/PHILADELPHIA/LOS ANGELES, March 4, 2024 – Chamberlain Hrdlicka is pleased to welcome former IRS Commissioner Charles “Chuck” Rettig to the firm as a Shareholder. Rettig served as the Commissioner of the IRS from 2018 to 2022, where he oversaw the nation’s tax system and managed an agency of over 83,000 employees with an annual budget of $13.4 billion. He will join the firm’s Tax Controversy & Litigation practice, comprised of attorneys experienced in advising and representing taxpayers before federal, state and local taxing authorities and in federal and state courts throughout the country. Rettig will be based in Los Angeles, California, extending the firm’s national presence for clients.
“To say we are honored to have Chuck Rettig join our firm would be an understatement,” says Larry Campagna, Managing Shareholder at Chamberlain Hrdlicka. “Chuck’s addition to Chamberlain is a testament to our work within the tax controversy market and our clients. His incredible experience at the IRS, focusing on improving service to taxpayers and deep consideration for his employees, makes him a pivotal and instrumental addition to the team.”
“This move to Chamberlain Hrdlicka is a natural progression from my tenure as the IRS Commissioner,” expressed Rettig. “It just makes sense following my work at the biggest tax agency to then join the preeminent tax and tax controversy firm in the country. I am excited to collaborate with longtime friends and colleagues within the firm, collectively dedicated to delivering unparalleled service. I am privileged to have many friends and colleagues in the tax profession and look forward to this opportunity to again work closely with them going forward.”
