Richard L. Lieberman, formerly with Deloitte Tax LLP, has joined the Chicago law firm of Burke, Warren, MacKay & Serritella, P.C. as a partner in its tax practice. The former Big 4 tax principal from Deloitte’s Chicago office has more than 25 years of tax controversy and consulting experience.
 
“We are delighted to add a tax heavyweight like Rich to our talent pool,” says Jeffrey D. Warren, Burke Warren’s managing partner. “Rich is well known nationally for his work. He will be an extremely valuable resource for our clients.”
 
“A reset is taking place in the way tax consulting is delivered in the US,” says Lieberman. “Clients simply want the right expertise and accessibility for the right value. More than ever, clients realize that the best talent is no longer locked away in extra-large firms with extra-large fees. Burke Warren, a high quality entrepreneurial law firm, provides the right platform for me and my clients.”
 
Lieberman will focus his law practice on the tax aspects of complex business transactions (including advising on and structuring acquisitions and dispositions), tax controversy and litigation, and general business tax advice and planning. His clients are engaged in manufacturing, consumer goods, healthcare, and retail, among other industries. They include several Fortune 100 companies.
 
Lieberman has regularly been named as a “Leading Individual” by International Tax Review in its annual review of the world’s best tax practitioners.
