Corporate Tax

Biography: Corporate Tax

James P Fuller is a partner in the tax group at Fenwick & West LLP. He is pleased that The International Who's Who of Corporate Tax Lawyers has again this year included him in its list of the 16 most highly regarded corporate tax advisers worldwide. Fuller was named one of the world's top three tax advisers in a recent Euromoney survey (2006). Chambers USA (2007) gave Fuller its "star performer" rating, making Fuller the only US tax adviser to receive this rating.

Fenwick & West has represented over 40 of the Fortune 100 companies in federal tax matters. It was named one of only eight US law firms in the first tier in tax by World Tax (2008). International Tax Review named Fenwick & West "America's tax litigation firm of the year" (2006) and "San Francisco tax firm of the year" (2006 and 2007). Fenwick & West was also nominated in 2007 for Chambers' "excellence award in corporate tax".
