Washington, DC, September 18, 2015 -- Miller & Chevalier Chartered is pleased to announce that the firm was recognized last night by International Tax Review (ITR) at the publication's Americas Tax Awards 2015, held in New York, NY. The firm was named "Americas Tax Policy Firm of the Year," marking the third occasion the firm has received this distinction in the past four years. Tax Associates Jessica T. Ornsby and Lisandra Ortiz accepted the award on behalf of the firm.

The International Tax Review's Americas Tax Awards 2015 recognize the leading tax and transfer pricing firms in 21 jurisdictions globally. Selection for the awards is based on a combination of research for ITR's directories with the broad-scale innovation, complexity and impact of work conducted by a firm in the past year.

"We have a long history of tax policy insight as our firm was founded as the first federal tax practice in the country. We are proud to be recognized by ITR once again for our distinction in the pursuit of tax policy goals on behalf of our clients for nearly a century," said Marc J. Gerson, Vice Chair of the Tax department and head of the firm's Tax Policy practice. "We utilize our knowledge of the legislative and administrative processes and our established relationships with members of Congress, the Administration and their staffs to assist our clients in achieving their tax policy goals."

"We are thrilled to be recognized on the global stage for the tax strength we are able to provide to our clients," said George A. Hani, Chair of the firm's Tax department. "We once again thank International Tax Review for recognizing these efforts."

About International Tax Review and the Americas Tax Awards

Established in 1990, ITR is a leading monthly publication on international tax strategy and cross-border tax issues. In May 2015, ITR asked law firms and tax advisory firms to submit examples of their best work in M&A and capital markets tax transactions, tax disputes, indirect tax, restructuring and transfer pricing. Additional awards for the best deals and for the tax law and tax policy firms of the year were judged from these submissions. ITR's editorial staff considered these submissions and information obtained through interviews with tax directors and peer interviews to compile shortlists and choose winners for each of the country and regional awards. The awards represent the views of the magazine about the leading tax advisers in the Americas based on their work in the past 12 months.
