Our attorneys work with entrepreneurs and established growing businesses, both domestic and foreign, in all aspects of business and personal tax planning. We have particular expertise in creatively structuring sophisticated corporate, partnership and other transactions to minimize taxes and assist clients in structuring transactions to be most favorable, such as acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and business interests, including stock and asset purchases and sales; taxable and taxfree mergers and acquisitions; business restructurings; recapitalizations, redemptions, spin-offs, splitoffs and split-ups; and transfer of business interest to family members through gifting.
Our attorneys represent clients before all federal, state and local taxing authorities in connection with audits and tax collections, including payment agreements, settlements, seizures, liens, and tax appeals before various administrative tribunals and state and federal courts at all levels. In particular, we represent clients in contesting state income tax liability resulting from their business activities and in contesting and settling proposed sales and use tax liability. Our attorneys also have extensive experience representing clients in complex disputes before the Internal Revenue Service Appeals Division and in all phases of litigation before the United States Tax Court.
