About
Provided by Kean Miller LLP
Kean Miller’s tax attorneys offer federal tax advice to clients at all stages of an enterprise’s life cycle, from creation to liquidation, merger, or disposition. We represent clients who are forming business entities, reorganizing an existing business structure, or divesting or acquiring companies or property. Our experience includes the formation of all types of business entities, including joint ventures, corporations, general and limited partnerships, and limited liability companies. We routinely counsel business and company leadership with regard to financing transactions, contributions to capital, the issuance or redemption of stock and debt instruments, buy-sell agreements, executive compensation, and employee benefits.
We frequently work with business owners with regard to the federal income tax consequences of a prospective business purchase or sale. Our attorneys have extensive experience in dealing with the federal tax consequences of mergers and acquisitions, as well as tax-free reorganizations, such as spin-offs and split-offs.
