Glen Frost is the Founder and Managing Partner of Frost Law. Frost Law offers multi-faceted legal representation across an extensive range of practice areas—always with a heightened awareness that tax law is likely to impact every aspect of its various practice areas in some way. With that understanding, the firm has a strong and resilient core, focused especially on Tax Controversy and Litigation, International Tax Matters, Tax Planning, Estate Planning, and Business Law Matters. Mr. Frost manages a team of experienced attorneys, certified public accountants, enrolled agents, former IRS employees, and other professionals.

Currently, Frost Law finds itself uniquely positioned to help businesses that paid W-2 employees during the pandemic to determine their eligibility for securing a significant government relief measure in the form of a refundable tax credit—the Employee Retention Credit (ERC). The firm has a staff of more than 40 professionals working on this underutilized relief program and has been able to recover significant refunds for many small businesses. Frost Law offers a complimentary review of the client’s records to determine eligibility—even offering second opinions after a client, accountant, or payroll company has already filed a claim. Frost Law has recovered hundreds of thousands, and in some cases millions, of additional dollars in refunds (for both initial review and second opinion contexts).

Mr. Frost is an attorney, certified public accountant, and Certified Financial Planner™. With his diverse background, he is able to provide a holistic approach to resolving legal, tax, business, and financial needs of clients. Mr. Frost focuses his national and international practices on tax matters, business law matters, and estate planning matters. Leveraging his experience as a CPA, Mr. Frost offers personal, compliance, and business tax planning services to owners, families, family businesses, private equity, and asset management stakeholders, as well as high net worth individuals. In addition, he focuses his practice on a wide variety of services that are associated with owning, managing, and preserving businesses and wealth, including asset protection, estate and succession planning, sensitive wealth transfers, and philanthropic planning.

Other Outstanding Achievements:

Glen has represented hundreds of taxpayers who have voluntarily disclosed hundreds of millions of dollars in offshore bank accounts and assets to the IRS. These disclosures were made by many taxpayers —some living abroad and others living Stateside—through a combination of the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program, Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures, and the Delinquent Filing Submission Procedures.

Glen has represented hundreds of taxpayers who have undergone IRS audits and other similar government investigations. These investigations often involve very serious and sensitive issues and require sophisticated forensic accounting analyses.

Glen has represented whistleblowers who have reported to the IRS Whistleblower office significant unpaid income tax liabilities. Glen represents both taxpayers accused of wrongdoing by whistleblowers, as well as whistleblowers themselves in claims before federal and state tax authorities.

Glen has represented many individuals that were investigated by the Department of Justice for financial and tax related offenses including Bank Secrecy Act violations, structuring, conspiracy, money laundering, willful failure to file, and willful failure to pay. Glen has testified as an expert witness in the United States District Court relating to criminal tax sentencing.

Glen has represented many individuals who have interests in Controlled Foreign Corporations (CFCs), Foreign Trusts, Foreign Partnerships, Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFICs) and has brought them into compliance with the IRS.

Glen is assistant legal counsel for American Citizens Abroad, Inc., a 501(c)(4) organization with a mission to educate, advocate and inform the U.S. government and U.S. citizens living and working overseas on issues of concern to the overseas U.S. citizen community.

Glen holds a Master Captain’s License with the United States Coast Guard and is authorized to operate for charter inspected vessels of up to 50 Gross Tons.
