The American College of Tax Counsel comprises 700 fellows who are nominated by current fellows and chosen by the counsel’s board of regents. Demonstration of excellence in the field and ethical conduct is required to be a fellow, which is shown through involvement with taxation committees or bar associations, as well as legal writing, teaching, or holding tax administration-related office.
The fellows are tax attorneys in private firms or in-house legal departments, in academia, in federal or state government, or on the judicial bench. A Board of Regents governs the organization with one representative from each federal judicial circuit plus two at large positions.

Much of her work involves the resolution of cross-border transfer pricing matters (Competent Authority) as well as advising multinationals on how to navigate today’s challenging global tax disputes landscape.
