Our attorneys regularly provide sophisticated tax planning for publicly traded and closely-held corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, and individuals, both in the United States and abroad. In addition, our lawyers represent clients in tax disputes with the Internal Revenue Service and state revenue departments. Whatever your tax and planning needs, from the relatively straightforward, to complex matters most firms simply cannot handle, you can count on us for a creative solution.
We concentrate our tax services in the following areas:
We work closely with our clients to create customized solutions that incorporate their tax, business, and in the case of closely held businesses, estate planning needs. We regularly coordinate our tax advice with planning for benefits and compensation. Our lawyers stay on top of the constantly changing landscape of federal tax law and can notify you of any changes to the tax law that may affect you or your business.
Our firm provides legal advice and services to clients both nationally and internationally. We often serve clients in conjunction with, or instead of, large accounting firms.
