Our tax practice handles a wide variety of federal, state, and local tax matters. Our work in the tax area involves many aspects of tax planning, including rendering tax advice relating to business start-up operations, financing, ownership changes, taxable and tax-free acquisitions, reorganizations, liquidations, dispositions, and terminations of businesses.
