Ms. Fuller is an effective and assertive taxpayer advocate, with nearly two decades of experience resolving tax controversies involving federal, state, and foreign taxes, as well as tax penalties. She has effectively represented clients in IRS audits and at IRS appeals. When going to court is the best strategy, she is able to guide her clients through the complex litigation process. She is a skilled negotiator, and has helped clients achieve attractive out-of-court settlements. Some of the controversies Ms. Fuller has handled have involved novel questions of law. She also has significant experience with complex transfer pricing issues–skills first acquired when she clerked for the United States Tax Court, serving three consecutive 2-year terms in the Chief Judge’s chambers in Washington, D.C.
Ms. Fuller publishes articles on current tax and international law topics, and has frequently served as a session rapporteur in connection with international tax seminars sponsored by the International Bar Association.
