Tax: Corporate & Finance

The corporate tax group of Ivins, Phillips & Barker structures and negotiates the U.S. tax aspects of domestic and cross-border business transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, joint ventures, financings, and internal corporate restructurings. IP&B specializes exclusively in tax and employee benefits law, and its corporate tax group is regularly tapped for U.S. tax advice on transactions where other firms lead the non-tax aspects of the deal. The group also has nationally-recognized expertise in, and regularly advises on, income tax accounting, federal tax policy, and consolidated return matters. The group maintains strong relationships with the IRS, Treasury, and Congressional attorneys responsible for business tax matters, and has extensive experience obtaining advance IRS rulings on complex transactions. The group’s lawyers also often serve as expert witnesses in commercial disputes focused on corporate tax issues.
