Tax Department

Experience

The firm's Tax Department counsels and represents clients on a wide range of tax issues affecting business transactions for corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, sole proprietorships, non-profit organizations, families and individuals. We help our clients succeed and prosper through knowledgeable tax counseling and tax-advantageous transactions and planning. We have on our staff, certified public accountants and experienced tax litigators, offering expertise in negotiation and other dispute resolution techniques.

Our Tax Department works closely with our Business Law Department to develop and implement optimal tax planning strategies for complex corporate transactions such as acquisitions, mergers, divestitures and other reorganizations. Several of our tax Attorneys are specialists in the taxation of S corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and similar "pass-through" entities. We also coordinate with our Estate and Financial Planning Department to determine executive and corporate compensation and benefits planning, estate planning and trust administration, and resolution of valuation and other disputes with state and federal tax authorities.

We have the capacity to represent clients before the U.S. Tax Court, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission, state and federal courts, and other government agencies. Our Tax Department also employs specialized skills in tax investigation and accounting important to the successful development of the defense in a criminal tax prosecution.

We would be delighted to help you with your legal questions. Please contact our office, toll free, at 800-333-5201, 24 hours a day, or send us an email to schedule a consultation with one of our Attorneys.
