Perkins Coie has enhanced its tax practice with the addition of R. Chandrasekhar, a seasoned expert from the US Department of the Treasury, joining the firm’s Washington, D.C. office. Chandrasekhar’s role at Perkins Coie will focus on navigating complex tax policies and regulations, bringing invaluable governmental experience to their clients.
With a rich background in tax law, Chandrasekhar has spent a significant portion of his career at the US Treasury, where he played a pivotal role in shaping tax regulations and policies. His appointment underscores Perkins Coie’s strategy to bolster its expertise in the face of evolving tax legislation, an area that has become increasingly critical for corporations seeking compliance and efficiency strategies.
