Multistate Tax
Businesses must be vigilant and careful in managing their state and local tax liabilities and exposures. This can be a daunting task. We provide a broad range of state and local tax services to our clients, including tax planning, tax controversy, real estate tax abatement and exemption, and tax policy advocacy. With attorneys who have worked both inside and outside government agencies, our multistate tax team leverages its knowledge and experience for the benefit of our clients.
Tax Planning
We believe that even in an environment of increased scrutiny of tax structures and increased enforcement efforts by government tax officials, significant tax saving opportunities for businesses still exist. We work proactively with clients to:
- Identify and implement tax reduction strategies consistent with business operations.
- Review existing tax planning structures to ensure their integrity upon examination.
- Minimize multistate tax consequences of business transactions.
- Assist in obtaining real estate tax reductions or exemptions.
Tax Controversy
Even with thorough tax planning, some companies may find themselves under examination by or in litigation with state and local governments. To minimize the impact of tax examinations and tax litigation, our attorneys:
- Work closely with tax officials to reduce assessments during and after an audit.
- Prudently litigate tax assessments through all levels of appeal.
- Provide experienced negotiation services for all types of tax settlements and no-hope tax appeals.
Tax Policy
Businesses today struggle with ever-changing tax laws and government policies in multiple jurisdictions. Our multistate tax attorneys have a wealth of experience in dealing directly with government leaders in all states and Washington D.C. to address tax policy matters. Working closely with professionals in our Government Affairs Practice, we work with clients to:
- Develop and advocate strategic tax policy positions.
- Monitor and impact tax law developments and trends.
- Negotiate valuable tax incentives to support business expansion and growth.
