Our private client group counsels individuals and families on domestic and cross-border tax and estate planning issues, including the use of trusts, partnerships, corporations, foundations and wills and the application of tax treaties.

Caplin & Drysdale's bipartisan Political Law group provides businesses, trade associations, nonprofits, candidates, and activists with timely, concise counsel on the high-stakes legal issues that involve "pay-to-play" restrictions, lobbying regulations, campaign finance laws, and ethics rules. 

Tax fraud cases present unique factual, legal and tactical issues. Since the founding of Caplin & Drysdale, the firm has had a robust practice in this highly specialized area and have sucessfully represented clients who have, or are concerned about, potential criminal tax issues.
