About

Provided by Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP

Hunton provides clear and creative tax advice to clients for their transactions and tax controversies, and with respect to tax legislation and administration.

In transactional matters, our strength is assisting the client in weighing complex and often competing legal and tax considerations so the client can make an informed decision about whether to engage in a particular transaction. Once the client decides to proceed, we advise on the structure and review the transactional documents to ensure that the agreed-upon structure is in place.

To meet the challenge of double taxation, we are constantly developing new ways to structure transactions in order to minimize entity-level tax, generate tax benefits or defer taxable gains.

In addition to serving tax clients directly, we work with our firm's corporate, securities and real estate lawyers to provide a tax perspective on their clients’ financings, mergers and acquisitions and other transactions. In every transaction, our tax lawyers are there at the outset, anticipating the tax consequences and working closely with our clients and the transactional lawyers to structure the transaction to best meet our clients’ business needs in a tax-efficient manner.
