Practice
As state and local governments become more aggressive in their efforts to address their budget shortfalls, businesses are being targeted as a source of revenue. We combine an in-depth understanding of jurisdictional relevancies and our clients’ industries to help them protect and increase their bottom line. We work with national and multinational companies, and individual clients, to ensure their compliance with local and state tax laws and to maximize their tax advantages.
We advise clients on the full range of ongoing and strategic state and local tax issues, from income and sales/use taxes to franchise, business license, and other miscellaneous taxes. We conduct tax due diligence in connection with mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures, and with regard to divestitures, restructurings, workouts, bankruptcies, and sales of distressed assets.
Our team guides clients on the potential state and local tax ramifications of moving or expanding their facilities or operations, assists in identifying tax and business incentives, and negotiates new opportunities with relevant authorities. At tax time, we work with in-house accounting, tax, and legal departments to help our clients take appropriate filing positions.
When disputes arise, our experienced litigators represent clients in federal and state courts, appellate courts, and administrative tribunals, as well as in audits and hearings with tax authorities across the U.S. We have significant experience working with clients and industry groups to identify emerging tax issues and represent their interests before legislative bodies and agency officials.
