Our tax team has been providing sound advice to clients. We serve public and private companies, joint ventures, real estate interests, high-net-worth individuals and exempt organizations, among others.
We counsel clients on the tax implications of mergers and acquisitions, financings, real estate transactions, entity structuring, contractual arrangements, cross-border transactions, and other complex business matters. Tax considerations are integral to our transactional practice, and our attorneys work closely with colleagues in corporate, real estate, labor and employment, and estates and trusts to provide seamless, interdisciplinary support. By involving tax counsel from the outset, we help ensure transactions are structured and executed in the most tax-efficient manner.
