Practice/Industry Group Overview
The Tax Practice Group attorneys regularly advise clients on local, state, and federal tax matters. Our goal is twofold: (1) in our tax planning services, to assist clients in structuring transactions in tax-favorable manners, and (2) in our comprehensive tax services, to achieve tax-favorable outcomes for our clients in matters involving, for example, negotiation with the IRS and litigation. We regularly assist clients in dealing with government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Treasury, IRS, and the North Carolina Department of Revenue. We represent clients before state, tax, and federal courts. Several attorneys are licensed to appear before the IRS and the U.S. Tax Court.
We serve a variety of individuals, large and small businesses, and nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations on tax-relevant matters such as business formation, ongoing operations, mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, divestitures, liquidations, and obtaining and maintaining tax-exempt status, and we seek to achieve a favorable tax goal for our clients. In addition to tax planning and advocacy services, we prepare documentation to effect tax-incentive transactions involving tax-exempt bonds and tax credits; provide tax opinions and disclosure materials concerning reorganizations, syndications, securities offerings, financings, investments, and other transactions; prepare requests for advance rulings and technical advice from the IRS or local taxing authorities; and prepare documentation to apply for tax-exempt status. We also advise clients on international tax issues. If the need arises, we have the skill and experience to guide our clients through audits, assessments, and litigation of income, estate, gift, employment, excise, sales and use, property, and other tax issues.
Tax Practice Group attorneys are able to draw upon the experience of other groups within the firm—particularly Business, Financial Institutions, Real Estate, Trusts and Estates, and Litigation—and to assist clients referred to us from other practice groups—all for our clients' benefit. Within this practice group, one attorney has been selected as "Legal Elite" by Business North Carolina since 2007, and has been recognized in "Super Lawyers" by North Carolina Super Lawyers from 2006-2007.
