Our tax practice group provides counseling in matters involving federal, state and local tax issues and controversies. Working in close collaboration with our other practice areas, we offer a full range of tax support to clients, including forming and operating all forms of business organizations, resolving tax disputes with the Internal Revenue Service as well as state and local authorities, and structuring debt and equity financings, executive compensation arrangements, acquisitions, divestitures, corporate restructurings and tax-oriented investments. In addition, we provide general tax advice for many clients, often working closely with in-house tax counsel on structuring transactions and resolving tax-related problems. We also provide tax advice to foreign individuals and businesses that are interested in engaging in business in the United States. We also represent individual clients with respect to their tax, estate and charitable activities. High net worth individuals often have to deal with numerous complex tax issues. We advise these clients on general tax planning and assist them in developing an overall estate plan that allows a tax-efficient transfer of assets. For senior executives, or businesses that employ them, we assist in designing compensation arrangements that have favorable tax treatments.
