Recognized in Ones to Watch since 2023
Ashley Torres
Our mid-sized manufacturing company, with operations in three states, was facing a daunting and potentially costly sales and use tax audit from New York State. We engaged Kathleen Quinn on the recommendation of our corporate counsel. From our initial consultation, it was clear that her 14 years of focused experience in state and local tax controversy was exactly what we needed. Katie didn't just react to the auditor's requests; she developed a proactive strategy, meticulously reconstructing our nexus and apportionment data. Her advice was not only legally sound but also pragmatic, always keeping our business objectives in mind. Her recognition in the field of tax law is well-deserved, as her deep knowledge of New York's specific statutes and her ability to navigate the administrative process were invaluable. Ultimately, she successfully negotiated a settlement that reduced our potential liability by over 60%. The only minor critique, which is why this is a 4-star and not a 5-star review, is that during the peak of the negotiation phase, there were a couple of instances where our internal team had to send a follow-up email to get a status update. Her expertise is top-tier, and we are extremely satisfied with the outcome. We will definitely seek her counsel for future state tax planning matters.
