IRS Appoints New Deputy Chief Counsel For Technical Matters

by Glen Shapiro, LawAndTax-News.com, New York

28 September 2006

The US Internal Revenue Service this week announced the appointment of Clarissa C. Potter to the position of Deputy Chief Counsel (Technical), effective immediately.

Potter will replace Heather Maloy, currently acting in the position and officially the Associate Chief Counsel (Passthroughs and Special Industries). Maloy is leaving the government to return to private practice.

Donald L. Korb, IRS Chief Counsel observed of the appointment that:

“Ms. Potter’s extensive tax law experience in government and academia and her substantial knowledge of Counsel’s technical functions make her an excellent selection for this critical position."

The Deputy Chief Counsel (Technical) serves as alter ego to the Chief Counsel in the overall executive direction of the Office’s technical tax operations.

The Deputy is responsible for planning and coordinating all non-litigation work related to the development, interpretation and application of Federal tax regulations, and serves as the Chief Counsel’s personal advisor on most national and international tax matters under his jurisdiction.
