Our SALT group works hand in hand with our real estate and corporate practice groups to address the state and local tax implications of mergers, acquisitions, asset sales and other transactions. Our attorneys are well versed in developing creative solutions and tax planning to minimize state and local tax obligations. We are also adept at working with clients to secure existing state and local tax incentives or to develop new incentives.
We regularly represent both individuals and organizations of all sizes, including large and small businesses, estates, trusts and nonprofit organizations in a wide range of disputes. AEGIS attorneys have handled virtually every type of tax dispute, including income, an estate or gift, employment taxes or tax exempt entities.
Our experienced litigators regularly represent clients in tax disputes before federal, state and local tax authorities as well as the United States Tax Court, the US Court of Federal Claims and various federal courts of appeals. Our scalable services mean that we can assist with single and multi-jurisdictional disputes. But our willingness to litigate, while remaining open to negotiation, means that our attorneys favorably resolve many disputes before they reach the courtroom.
