His practice covers transfer pricing planning and controversies and related international tax planning. He comes to his new firm from Mayer Brown where he handled numerous IRS Appeals cases and tax litigation matters in the US Tax Court and Courts of Appeals. He has many clients in the life sciences industry.

In recent years, Young's practice has focused on helping multinational companies reduce the risk of future transfer pricing controversies, and maximize international planning opportunities, through sophisticated transfer pricing legal and economic analysis and planning.
