In 2001 Capitol Tax Partners' founders relied on decades of government experience to create Washington's premier tax firm that could provide clients with both political and tax technical analysis and solutions. Since the firm's inception, the firm and its partners have been the recipients of dozens of accolades including being recognized annually by U.S. News and World Report's rankings of "Best Law Firms."The firm's co-founder, Jon Talisman, has said that the firm is built upon great people with a unique combination of judgment and experience, and a simple credo: "We have always tried to provide our clients with an honest appraisal of what's likely to happen on the Hill and then provide them our best technical and political advice on how to make what they want happen." The firm's partners have experience throughout all levels of government: including Assistant Secretary of Tax Policy for the Treasury Department, Senate Finance Committee Chief Tax Counsel, House Ways and Means Committee Tax Counsel, and Legislative Directors. This bipartisan team of accomplished former government officials can develop a strategy necessary to accomplish a client's goals.
