About Chris G
Chris G Newsom built a career at the intersection of accounting and tax law. He began his academic path studying accounting at Baylor University, where he earned a B.B.A. in 1992. He then completed a J.D. at Duke University School of Law in 1995 and deepened his tax training with an LL.M. in Tax Law from SMU Dedman School of Law in 2005.
His professional journey started in the private sector at Ernst & Young LLP in 1995, a role that paired his accounting background with legal training. Two years later he moved into firm practice at Strasburger & Price LLP, where he handled matters for corporate and individual clients. In 2004 he joined Meadows Collier et al., adding experience in firm-based tax and business work. He spent time at Graves Dougherty Hearon & Moody beginning in 2006, before establishing his own practice.
In 2010 he became the managing lawyer at Newsom Law Office. That move marked a shift from working within larger firms to leading a smaller practice. The office is located in Miron Grove Office Park. His career shows a steady progression from public accounting into tax law practice and firm management.
Newsom is board certified in Tax Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. That credential signals formal recognition of his experience in tax matters under Texas standards. Over the years he has worked on tax planning, controversy, and transactional issues for businesses and individuals. His background in accounting informs his approach to statutory interpretation and financial documentation. He handles federal and state tax matters, and he advises clients on structuring transactions to address tax consequences.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in the handling of tax problems. He brings both technical training and practical experience to client matters. Cases and engagements have ranged from routine compliance and planning to more complex dispute resolution. His training includes both the detailed analysis typical of tax practice and the client counseling that accompanies business transactions.
Newsom’s work sits squarely within Texas law. He draws on nearly three decades of experience across accounting firms, large law firms, and his own practice. He moved from employee roles into firm leadership, carrying forward a combination of legal and accounting expertise that shapes his practice today.
He currently leads Newsom Law Office at Miron Grove Office Park, practicing tax law and advising clients on related state and federal tax matters.
