At General Counsel, P.C. our tax attorneys teach, lecture and publish on both a local and national level regarding a wide variety of tax issues.

With the ever-changing nature of the tax laws we continually monitor and master new tax law developments in order best to serve our clients, and have the experience and knowledge to advise them in virtually all areas of tax law.

Ideally, we seek to help our clients plan their business activities in advance so at minimize their tax exposure and reduce their tax liabilities. Yet often times we are also retained to advise clients after their tax reporting positions and activities have been challenged and/or rejected by the IRS and/or state or local tax authorities.

What Does a Tax Attorney Do?

Tax-beneficial Business Structures

The tax attorneys at GCPC help you focus on your business’ long-term business plan. Tax decisions are not over once you have chosen the appropriate type of business entity for your new business.

Our attorneys also provide unique assistance in planning for venture syndication and the raising of capital from individual investors and venture capital groups.

Tax Planning for Transactions
Our tax lawyers advise business and individuals on tax planning from the inception of a business transaction through every stage of negotiation and the transaction’s eventual consummation. Our tax attorneys, working together with their business lawyer colleagues, have the knowledge and experience properly to structure and negotiate mergers, restructurings, acquisitions and sales of ownership interests and businesses in the most tax efficient manner.
