Crowell & Moring’s New York Office Adds Former DOJ Litigator Starling Marshall

By on September 19, 2019 in Announcements

S. Starling Marshall is joining Crowell & Moring’s New York office as a partner in the firm’s Tax and Litigation groups, the firm announced in a news release.

Marshall focuses her practice on litigation, complex IRS audits, and administrative appeals. She also advises clients on privilege and protecting proprietary information in a wide array of contexts

Marshall was previously at Covington & Burling. Prior to that, she served as a trial attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Tax Division, Court of Federal Claims Section. There, she was responsible litigation, from motions to discovery to trial on a variety of issues involving tax shelters, complex refund suits, 1603 grant cases, and TEFRA proceedings. She served on the Tax Division’s employment tax enforcement task force. She tried several cases as lead trial counsel, and litigated matters of first impression, including a case to determine the effect of a TEFRA judgment on penalties against partners, a case regarding the proper treatment of earn-out rights, and a case about the treatment of nuclear decommissioning liabilities.

Marshall is the latest hire for the firm’s New York office. Labor partner Eric Su, cybersecurity and data privacy partner Jarno Vanto, and advertising litigation partner Holly Melton joined the office following the 2018 addition of the New York Health Care practice, which included a nine-lawyer team led by partners Paul Mourning, Stephanie Marcantonio, Kathy Hirata Chin, and Brian McGovern. Other recent laterals include Brian Paul Gearing, Ph.D., partner in the Intellectual Property Group; Paul Freeman, senior counsel in the Environment and Natural Resources and Government Contracts groups; former federal prosecutor and First Assistant Attorney General of New Jersey, Rebecca Ricigliano, partner in the White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement group; and former Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Enforcement at the DOJ’s Antitrust Division, Juan A. Arteaga, partner in the Antitrust Group.

Marshall earned her law degree from Fordham University School of Law and her undergraduate degree from Emory University. Her pro bono work includes serving as lead counsel with the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project and ACLU-Utah, in a Bivens action against U.S. marshals who raided a family’s home on two successive days.
