About

Provided by Thompson Hine LLP

Our Tax Group counsels a wide variety of clients from Fortune 500 companies and multinational corporations to financial institutions, nonprofit organizations and privately held businesses. We advise and represent clients in business transactions and financings, tax controversy and litigation, legislative and regulatory activities, executive compensation and tax planning, international taxation, state and local taxation, and foundation and exempt organization matters. Our lawyers structure mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic alliances. We counsel clients on the use of sophisticated financing vehicles such as securitizations and provide independent reviews of tax-driven strategies recommended by accounting firms and investment banks. We advise on U.S. tax aspects of international tax matters; obtain private letter rulings from the IRS National Office, often on a very expedited basis, on complex transactions such as spin-offs and tax-free reorganizations; design and implement executive compensation arrangements, such as deferred compensation plans, stock options and other equity-based incentive plans and golden parachute agreements; assist clients in reducing state franchise and sales taxes through creative multistate tax planning; and, we assist educational and charitable entities concerning their federal and state tax issues.
