Taxation

DL Partners’ tax practice emphasizes providing smart and timely advice, from both a business and a tax perspective. We advise clients on how to achieve the best possible tax results in any business situation, including planning and structuring transactions, buying and selling real estate, and forming new businesses.

In real estate transactions, we advise our clients on how to structure their purchases and sales in the most tax-efficient manner, which may include planning tax-free exchanges, structuring non-taxable reorganizations and distributions or converting ordinary income into capital gain. We advise cooperative housing corporations and condominium associations on the complex tax issues those organizations face. We also counsel tax-exempt organizations in both formation and ongoing operations.

Our firm provides practical and thorough tax advice to foreign and U.S. clients involved in international transactions, both inbound and outbound, including buying and selling U.S. and foreign businesses, structuring joint ventures, purchasing and selling U.S. real estate, and distributing profits to foreign shareholders.

Our tax attorneys represent business clients in compensation agreements, including arrangements with stock options, restricted stock and other types of deferred-equity arrangements. And for clients facing an audit, administrative proceedings or another tax controversy, our attorneys provide counseling and representation at the federal, state and local levels.
