BUSINESS LAW
Taxation
The constant monitoring and analysis of the evolving statutory, regulatory and case law in all areas of federal and state taxation enable our tax department to continually develop creative solutions to a multitude of tax problems faced by our clients in today's complex tax environment. Our tax practice includes: submitting requests for Internal Revenue Service rulings; research relating to individual, general corporate, and partnership tax matters; tax planning for and structuring of business transactions involving mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, liquidations, and recapitalization; review or establishment of pension and profit-sharing plans, deferred compensation arrangements, and employee stock option plans; determinations as to the choice of appropriate tax entity; the drafting of special tax provisions required in real estate partnership or like-kind exchange transactions; and preparation of tax opinion letters for private placement memoranda. We also represent taxpayers in the negotiation of settlements of tax controversies before the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing agencies, in addition to representing them in tax litigation before the United States and New Jersey Tax Court.
