Jessica Ledingham is an accomplished tax attorney and litigator, recognized for guiding clients through the IRS’s and state tax authorities’ toughest challenges. As a member of Parlatore Law Group, she brings deep experience in U.S. Tax Court and District Court litigation and federal tax controversy — resolving high-stakes disputes with precision, whether at the negotiating table or in the courtroom.
Ms. Ledingham’s track record speaks for itself: she has defended clients against criminal tax fraud allegations in the United States District Court, represented taxpayers against the IRS in U.S. Tax Court, and appeared before local state trial courts on behalf of individuals and businesses. Her practice also spans federal and state examinations, where she guides individuals and businesses through the audit process and, when necessary, takes the fight to Appeals.
Ms. Ledingham’s approach is defined by the same discipline she brings to every case: methodically building the record, anticipating the government’s next move, and executing a clear strategy toward resolution. She is equally comfortable securing a quiet, favorable outcome before a case ever reaches trial and standing before the U.S. Tax Court or United States District Court when her clients need an advocate who won’t back down. Her background advising some of the largest corporations in the world, paired with her clerkship for the Honorable Ronald Lee Buch of the U.S. Tax Court, gives her a rare vantage point on how these cases are actually decided.
Ms. Ledingham was a 2025 recipient of the “On the Rise – Top 40 Young Lawyers” award. She is also recognized on the Best Lawyers in America “Ones to Watch” list for Tax Law in 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, and as a Super Lawyers Rising Star for 2026 and 2027. She is a sought-after commentator for Forbes, Tax Notes, and Law360, and a regular contributor on Court TV. Ms. Ledingham serves on the Caring Matters Board of Trustees, the MSBA Content Committee, and is Vice President of the Little Bennett Elementary School PTA. She holds a Tax LL.M. from Georgetown University Law Center.
