We help clients achieve tax efficiency in equity and asset purchases and sales, corporate reorganizations and capital markets transactions, facilitate cross-border transfers of royalties and dividends, and ensure tax compliance in employee benefit and ERISA matters. Our tax lawyers play a key role in estate planning, closely-held business planning and probate-related matters for individual clients and families. We resolve federal and state tax controversies in both administrative and judicial proceedings. We also work with nonprofit organizations to obtain and maintain federal tax-exempt status and comply with state charitable solicitation regulations.
