She also assisted in tax controversy matters. She began her career as an Attorney-Advisor to Judge Wright of the United States Tax Court.
“We are excited to have Cornelia join the practice. She brings a wealth of experience with Sub K, Sub S, and the new NII tax, and will be a terrific resource for our clients,” said Mark Vorsatz, Andersen Tax CEO.
