Our tax lawyers work closely with our other firm practice groups to structure transactions to achieve the most favorable tax results. We accomplish this by understanding the relevant tax issues and economic factors and providing creative solutions to help our clients achieve their business and personal goals. In addition to domestic clients, we advise U.S. companies and individuals doing business abroad and foreign individuals and corporations doing business in the U.S. in a practical, business and goal oriented manner. We have particular expertise in structuring domestic and offshore investment vehicles and advising our investment fund clients with respect to the tax aspects of their activities. Department head David Schulder brings over 30 years of experience to this area.
