About Omid

Omid Johan Shirazi co-founded K&S Law Group, P.C. as a partner and the head of the Firm’s Tax Controversy Practice in 2015. A practicing CPA for over 7 years, both in the public and private sectors, his practice focuses on federal, state, and international tax services for a range of clients, including domestic and international business entities and individuals. He has advised clients on income tax treaty implications, FATCA and FBAR filing requirements, federal and state inbound and outbound royalty, dividend, and interest payment, and tax-efficient transactions and structures.

 

Omid has also counseled a number of charitable and nonprofit organizations on incorporation, applications for federal and state tax exemptions, annual filing requirements and other tax issues.

 

Public & Public Sector Practice

Omid focuses his practice on tax controversy, tax planning, and complex transactional matters for businesses, individuals and professionals. When representing clients faced with complex issues, Mr. Shirazi draws on his legal experience at the IRS Office of Chief Counsel, as well as his background as a CPA with PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Squar Milner, to most effectively provide counsel and advise clients. Omid's background, both in private practice and at the IRS, provides him with the tools to assess the strengths and risks of each issue, negotiate favorable settlements with the government and, if necessary, litigate the matter before the appropriate court.

    Relationship: Worked together on matter

    Omid and I are currently working together as co-counsel on a plaintiff-side employment case pending in Orange County Superior Court. Omid has been involved in all stages of the case and has exhibited the type of work ethics and approach that makes a successful civil litigation attorney. He reads everything and does not leave a stone un-turned. His knowledge of civil procedure and CA employment law is rapidly growing. I anticipate to hear about many great verdicts and settlements coming out of Omid's office in the upcoming years. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer.
