International Tax Review (ITR), a leading international tax publication, has honored Dentons' Tax Disputes practice by recognizing the excellence of our tax group both collectively and individually.

Dentons' Tax Disputes practice has made the shortlist for several Americas Awards, an annual recognition by the ITR that honors the most outstanding provision of tax services in North and South America between June 2012 and June 2013. These are the Firm's first Americas Awards nominations, bringing significant visibility to our tax controversy work. Winners will be announced in late September. The group's nominations include:

• Canada Tax Firm of the Year
• Dallas/Houston Tax Firm of the Year
• North American Tax Disputes Firm of the Year
• Americas Financial Services Tax Deal of the Year (for the structuring, transfer of interests and sale of Gavea Funds)

In addition, the ITR also named several Dentons partners as Tax Controversy Leaders, including Neil Bass, Donald Bowman, Cheryl Gibson, Jehad Haymour, Carman McNary, Joel Nitikman and Sandra Hazan, Stephan Busch and Karina Furga-Dabrowska in Europe.

Dentons' Tax Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice has global reach, multijurisdictional experience and local practitioners who are highly regarded in their particular jurisdictions, including the US, Canada, the UK, Spain, France, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia. We represent a broad range of clients, including multinational companies, closely held businesses, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates and often other tax advisors, whether they are lawyers or accountants. Given the depth and breadth of Dentons' Tax Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice, we are particularly well-suited to assist multinational companies facing large dollar, global tax disputes that cross numerous countries, tax regimes and dispute resolution procedures.
