Because tax issues arise in all  areas of law, we are often called on to participate in  corporate, real estate, securities and business litigation matters, such as the following:

Advice and opinions in connection with business transactions involving corporations (including reorganizations, spin-offs, mergers, and asset acquisitions) partnerships and real estate.

State tax structuring, advice and opinions regarding all aspects of franchise, sales, use, and other state taxes as they apply to both in-state and out-of-state transactions  and clients.

Substantial tax litigation,  both federal and state, at the administrative level and in  all courts, including state, federal and bankruptcy  courts.

Structuring significant outbound and inbound international transactions.

The firm believes that the best  tax lawyer is also a good business lawyer. To that end, we try  to understand the business and corporate aspects of transactions, to exercise business judgment, and to maintain a global perspective when providing tax advice to our clients.
