Tax

Our tax lawyers craft strategic solutions that help clients eliminate, reduce, or defer their tax liabilities and comply with the evolving tax law landscape, as well as structure a range of economically sound, tax-efficient transactions.

We represent clients in adversarial tax proceedings—such as audit controversies, administrative proceedings and litigation in all judicial forums available to taxpayers.

Our experience also includes representation on legislative and regulation projects before the tax-writing committees of Congress and the Treasury Department.

Our strengths and services in this area include:

• planning and structuring all aspects of a transaction
• evaluating and preparing documentation and agreements, including term sheets, purchase contracts, equity commitment letters and sponsor guarantees, shareholder, operating, and joint venture agreements
• negotiating with adverse interests, potential partners, and other counterparties, including target companies, participating funds, institutional lenders, contractors and employees
• meeting the numerous compliance and governance challenges of a complex regulatory environment
• lobbying—through our government policy advisors—members of Congress, state legislatures, and various regulatory agencies and municipalities to promote client interests in tax legislation
