Business Law and Corporate Law

All of our tax attorneys who practice in the field of tax law have obtained a Masters of Laws in Taxation (LL.M.) degree from New York University School of Law, universally respected as the preeminent tax program in the world. Our tax lawyers regularly advise clients on the tax aspects of all types of businesses.  We routinely render tax counsel regarding entity formation, corporate and pass-through taxation, including Subchapter S corporations, corporate reorganizations, acquisitions, spin-offs and other dispositions, joint ventures, financings and restructurings.  These tax considerations can often determine the form, structure and feasibility of the contemplated transactions.
