BUSINESS DEPARTMENT   |   Tax Consulting

Tax issues arise in every field of law in which Offit Kurman practices. In the Business Division, there are tax matters to consider throughout a business’ life cycle - choice of entity, admission of new equity, participation for management, mergers and acquisitions, transfer to the next generation, sale of the business. In the Estate Planning Division, federal and state tax minimization is a major consideration and is complicated by ever-changing laws. Tax issues even arise in our Labor & Employment and Commercial Litigation groups.

Understanding our client’s needs and developing tailored tax solutions to meet those needs is at the heart of everything we do. Offit Kurman attorneys have varying degrees of tax knowledge within their specialties but all know when a matter requires additional tax resources. Maple Lawn Tax Advisors, LLC (“MLTA”), our affiliate, was formed to provide a high level of tax consulting to our clients from in-house sources.

MLTA is staffed by CPAs, not attorneys, with extensive experience in real world tax solutions for closely-held businesses and their owners. They work closely with our clients and their accountants to insure that the tax strategies being proposed will provide the end result being sought in a tax-efficient manner. Since every client and business is different, MLTA works closely with you to understand where you have been and where you are going and how to get there with the minimum tax cost, today and in the future.
