We aid businesses in effecient tax structuring of transactions.

We guide and counsel private and public corporations, real estate and operating partnerships, limited liability companies, individuals, and professionals such as doctors and accountants, through the tax issues involved in structuring, operating, growing, selling, and dissolving business entities. We also provide individual tax and estate planning, and probate administration.

A common need among our clients is trust and estate planning to successfully provide for the transfer of businesses and substantial assets from parents to children and grandchildren. We emphasize an integrated tax planning and counseling so that corporate activity and trust and estate planning for the individual owner/entrepreneur is consistent. We will also provide distinctive tax guidance to partnerships and limited liability companies during the process of developing, buying, leasing, or selling real estate.

In a highly competitive labor market, businesses need flexible and sophisticated approaches to compensation to attract the best and the brightest.

Our tax lawyers emphasize different compensation and reward mechanisms to accomplish employment goals, from stock options and deferred compensation agreements to employee stock ownership plans and sophisticated shareholder agreements. We assist in planning for the future with long-term benefit and retirement programs for employers as well as their employees. Our attorneys also provide individual tax and estate planning, probate administration, and the design, preparation, and audit of retirement plans.

We represent business and individuals in tax controversies and have successfully appeared before the IRS, state and local tax agencies, and in criminal and civil tax litigation at all levels of the court system.
