CORPORATE AND INTERNATIONAL TAX LAW FOR SMALL BUSINESS &
MIDDLE MARKET COMPANIES
We provide comprehensive tax, business consulting and legal
services to corporations,
partnerships, privately held
businesses, multinational
corporations and individuals. Our
focus is providing corporate and tax counsel to small,
privately held companies as well as middle market
corporations. We
routinely handle a variety of issues
in tax planning, ranging from
advising corporations, partnerships
and the owners of closely-held
corporations about minimizing their
overall tax bill, advising
entrepreneurs about the choice of
entity for new companies, oversight
and coordination of state and
federal tax returns, developing and
implement tax strategies and special
projects, advising on the tax issues
in business transactions, planning
tax-efficient corporate structures,
as well as executing business transactions such as
mergers & acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, and
joint ventures.
Simplifying Tax
Business operations today are complex. Tax rules and
regulations are even more complicated. As a tax attorney,
my approach is to provide, simple, practical tax
strategies. I identify simple tax solutions
to minimize taxation, and create efficiencies in business
operations and sophisticated transactions, such as
mergers
& acquisitions.
I regularly advise national and multinational corporations
how to minimize state, federal and global taxes through
tax-efficient corporate structures, and help
entrepreneurs
properly form tax-efficient companies and partnerships.

disciplines to implement and
properly record and report tax
