Practice/Industry Group Overview
Buckingham, Doolittle & Burroughs, LLP prides itself on its extensive expertise in all areas including federal, state and local taxation. The thrust of our practice is transaction planning in many different forms including the acquisition/disposition of a business or select assets, business restructuring and succession planning. The law firm also prides its expertise in handling tax controversies at all levels from the commencement of an audit to appearances before the Supreme Court and federal courts. Our lawyers provide tax advice to individuals, corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships, as well as state and local governments and bodies, and non-profit institutions. Members of the Tax Practice Group have both lectured and written articles on many different subjects of tax law and are recognized state-wide as authorities in the field. Our lawyers are on the faculty of The University of Akron Masters of Tax Program, and also serve in leadership positions in the taxation committees of the Ohio State Bar Association and local bar associations. Participation on such committees has enabled our lawyers to become extensively involved in drafting Ohio tax legislation, including statutes authorizing the creation of limited liability companies and the establishment of a bright line residency test defining tax consequences for Ohioans who move to states with no income tax such as Florida. We have also successfully advocated for clients before the General Assembly on special interest tax legislation. Although all of our attorneys are knowledgeable in most areas of tax law, each member of the Department has responsibility for maintaining specialties in selected areas. This enables us to more efficiently serve our clients. Taxation: Transactional Structuring - Bankruptcy and Debt-Relief
