Meghan R. Biss, who joined Caplin & Drysdale in 2018 after a 10-year career at the IRS, including as senior technical adviser to the director of EOs, said that Lough stepped in as TE/GE commissioner during a challenging transition.

“She focused tirelessly on reviewing and updating procedures across TE/GE,” Biss said. “She supported her employees and initiated changes meant to improve how TE/GE operated. Her ability to oversee complex changes was clearly recognized when she was appointed as the head of the Tax Reform Implementation Office.”
