Tax

Our tax attorneys are nationally recognized for their deep knowledge in real estate, corporate transactions, fund formation, and tax audits. We understand the business issues in a transaction or tax controversy, and we often play a role at the early stages of a deal to offer strategies and structure transactions that achieve the client’s tax and non-tax goals.  Our focus covers a broad range of matters and investments, including:

• Controversy and tax audits involving the IRS and California agencies
• Corporate transactions, business organizations, internal restructurings, and joint ventures
• Fund formation
• FIRPTA
• Insolvencies, debt workouts, and receiverships
• Property and transfer tax, including Proposition 13
• REITs
• Section 1031 exchanges, tenancies in common, and Delaware statutory trusts
