Larry Axelrod

Axelrod’s expertise covers federal income taxation, with a particular emphasis on M&A, internal restructuring, spin-off, debt versus equity and consolidated return matters. Prior to working for the IRS, he served as a partner in Deloitte’s tax group in Washington D.C. for more than 20 years where he advised on complex corporate tax issues.
