Our Practice
TaxThe tax practice at Cairncross & Hempelmann works in close conjunction with our other practice areas, providing strategic advice on new business entities, mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, public and private financings, and employment matters. The economics of business transactions often depend upon tax consequences, and our attorneys provide creative, responsive, and sound tax advice, enabling our clients to avoid tax problems and take advantage of opportunities.
Areas of Emphasis
We focus on solutions, not impediments, to:
- Selecting the optimal form and location for business enterprises
- Structuring compensation programs to attract and retain key personnel
- Minimizing the tax cost of international transfers of intellectual and tangible property
- Developing creative strategies for mergers and acquisitions, using tax benefits to improve deal economics
- Helping real estate developers find new sources of capital using innovative tax strategies
- Representing enterprises and individuals in disputes with the Internal Revenue Service and with state taxing authorities
Our estate planning practice focuses on wealth management, asset protection, and long-term planning for investors and business owners, including innovative solutions to business succession issues.
