Taxation

Our Tax Group advises clients on tax matters involved in the entire life-cycle of a business;  from choosing the appropriate form of entity at inception, to structuring tax efficient business acquisitions and sales, capital restructurings, corporate reorganizations, the separation of ownership interests and real estate acquisitions, dispositions and exchanges.

We also represent clients before the Internal Revenue Service and state tax agencies.  The Tax Group provides advice with respect to the operation of qualified and non-qualified retirement plans to insure compliance.

Our attorneys work closely with tax exempt entities to help them remain in compliance with all regulations governing their tax-favored status.  We obtain tax rulings and federal and state tax exemption determinations, and provide counsel in areas such as unrelated business income matters, private foundation management and compliance, charitable giving, conversions of for-profit corporations to not-for-profit entities, fiduciary responsibilities, reorganizations and reclassifications.

We represent clients in all stages of audits, investigations and litigation with the Internal Revenue Service.

We also file estate and gift tax returns and assist clients with understanding the estate and gift tax consequences of asset transfers.
