Patrick McCormick, J.D., LL.M

International Tax Attorney for Multinational Businesses & Individuals

I am an attorney with fifteen years of experience focusing my practice on international taxation. I represent business and individual clients on all aspects of U.S. international tax rules, from both income tax and estate and gift tax perspectives. I hold a JD from Vanderbilt University and an LLM in Taxation from New York University School of Law, and I am licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

I have worked with clients in over 130 countries on the American tax considerations of their multinational activities, representing everyone from multibillion-dollar enterprises and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to startups and individuals with complex questions and limited budgets. My work includes residency planning, asset structuring, and minimizing global income tax for individuals, as well as entity classification and cross-border transaction structuring for businesses.

I am a frequent speaker and writer on international tax matters, contributing regularly to publications including Tax Notes, Journal of Taxation, and Law360.
