My legal practice focuses on advising clients in a wide-range of tax, executive compensation, and qualified retirement plan design and compliance matters. A substantial part of my practice involves advising entities and their owners with respect to complicated tax matters arising throughout the business lifecycle, including mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, recapitalizations, and joint-ventures. I work with employers and executive groups on their unique executive compensation arrangements including equity arrangements, non-qualified deferred compensation plans, change in control arrangements, and related matters under Sections 280G and 409A. I also work with employers in the design and implementation of qualified retirement plans, including defined contribution and defined benefit plans (both traditional and cash-balance designs), focusing specifically on the use of qualified plans as tax planning tools for owner and executive groups of privately-held entities.My practice also frequently involves assisting clients with tax related examinations, appeals, and litigation with various federal, state, and local governmental agencies including litigation in the United States Tax Court.

Listed skills include Corporate Law, Trusts, Legal Research, Tax, and 13 others.
