Two Prominent Attorneys Subpoenaed in KPMG Tax Shelter Case

Interesting article in today’s Legal Times:  Two Prominent Attorneys Subpoenaed in KPMG Case, by Nathan Carlile

Collateral damage from the KPMG tax shelter imbroglio has struck Hogan & Hartson and two of the firm’s most prominent attorneys — Prentiss Feagles, co-director of the firm’s tax practice, and Paul Rogers, a partner in the firm’s health practice. Both lawyers were subpoenaed last month at the request of KPMG’s lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, who are defending their client over work done on behalf of Bernard Salick. Salick is a Los Angeles physician and entrepreneur who filed suit in California Superior Court in March 2005 against KPMG after shady tax shelters were sold to him by the company. …

Feagles says he did "probably an hour, an hour and a half, total of [tax] work," almost a decade ago. A deposition for Feagles — to be taken by Gibson Dunn partner Michael Flanagan at the firm’s D.C. office — was scheduled for Aug. 13 but was indefinitely postponed.
