The partnership was blindsided, it said, adding that it had been “lulled into believing that CohnReznick would continue to provide impartial, independent, and accurate tax work to protect AMTAX’s tax status or, at the very least, not abuse its position of trust to directly harm AMTAX for the benefit of another partner.”
Counsel for the parties didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment late Wednesday.
AMTAX is represented by L. Reid Skibell, Olga Lucia Fuentes Skinner and Avelino A. Garcia of Glenn Agre Bergman & Fuentes LLP.
CohnReznick is represented by Melissa A. Peña and Benjamin D. Schwartz of Norris McLaughlin PA.
