Jessica L. Kirk

Jessica Kirk represents taxpayers at every stage of a federal tax dispute – from audits and administrative appeals through federal income tax litigation – helping clients manage risk and resolve controversies effectively. Based in Dallas, Jessica works with companies of all sizes, partnerships, exempt organizations and high-net-worth individuals. Her practice includes a particular focus on partnership audits and aircraft tax controversies, and she also advises clients on state and local tax controversy matters.

Jessica helps clients assess tax positions and develop strategies for navigating disputes with tax authorities. She brings a broader risk management perspective from her previous work as a tax insurance broker, where she secured coverage involving complex U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax issues. That experience complements her controversy practice and informs her understanding of the financial considerations that can accompany significant tax disputes.

In addition to her legal practice, she is an adjunct professor at the Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law.
