Founded by Mortimer Caplin, Commissioner of Internal Revenue under John F. Kennedy [3], Caplin & Drysdale is a boutique law firm with offices in Washington, D.C. and New York [4].

History

After serving in President Kennedy's Task Force on Taxation, Caplin was appointed IRS Commissioner in January 1961. Caplin resigned from his post at the IRS in July 1964, and together with Douglas Drysdale [5], he established Caplin & Drysdale -- a law firm providing comprehensive tax advice[1] [6]. Since then, the firm has expanded its services to include creditors’ rights and complex litigation, political law, private client, employee benefits, corporate law, and white collar defense [7].
