Taxation

There is no cookie-cutter approach to tax planning, because no two people or organizations are alike. That’s why our tax lawyers collaborate with clients and their financial advisors on customized solutions to meet each client’s unique needs. Attorney Jay Richardson leads our taxation practice and is a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management Accountant, and is certified in Financial Management by the Institute of Management Accountants.

Our attorneys work with high-net-worth individuals, families, and closely held businesses to map out strategies that safeguard assets and maximize tax savings.

• Planning for charitable giving.
• Structuring the purchase, sale, reorganization or merger of a business.
