Business & Taxation

The hallmark of the firm's business and tax practice is the ability to counsel businesses. The firm itself is a business and its attorneys understand business. They have focused their talents on helping small and mid-sized companies (many of which are engaged in national and international enterprises) acquire, finance, expand and sell their businesses, while at the same time addressing day-to-day operational issues.

The firm prides itself on the ability to respond to virtually every type of legal problem that might be faced by a business operating in New York State or elsewhere. The firm has a strong focus on the core group of corporate issues and regularly provides assistance to companies concerning issues such as choice of entity, business formation, corporate finance, buy-sell agreements, corporate governance, business planning and corporate and partnership tax matters.

The firm's merger and acquisition services include counseling on the business and tax structure of a transaction and complete implementation and documentation of the transaction. The expertise of the firm has drawn it into some of the region’s most prominent transactions.

The firm has attorneys with specialized knowledge in the area of tax law. These include a former Commissioner of the New York Department of Taxation and Finance. This diversity enables the firm to provide representation for individuals, start-up ventures, not-for-profit entities, established local businesses and Fortune 500 companies.

The firm provides all necessary tax representation in connection with the formation, operation and disposition of businesses. The firm's attorneys regularly appear before the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Tax Court and the New York State Tax Tribunal.
