My law practice is in the areas of tax planning, real estate and business entities. I am also a Certified Public Accountant in Texas. My tax planning practice includes federal, state and international tax planning for businesses and individuals seeking to minimize tax obligations while accomplishing their business objectives. My real estate practice includes representing clients in the purchase and disposition of improved and unimproved property, development of property, structuring ownership entities, tax-free and like-kind exchanges and negotiation of all types of loans. I represent issuers in matters relating to state and federal securities regulation, including the preparation of private placement memoranda and other offering documents and I have previously represented broker/dealers. My corporate practice involves representing clients in the acquisition and disposition of businesses, mergers, start-up business entities and federal income tax planning with regards to the choice of entity that best suits the particular client’s needs and business objectives, including partnerships, limited liability companies, series limited liability companies and corporations. I also advise both employees and employers with regards to employment agreements, deferred compensation plans and equity option plans. I have also advised federal contractors about their obligations under the McNamara-O’Hara Service Contract Act and other federal laws to which they are subject, and provided written guidance regarding compliance with such federal laws. I have recently written articles and presented continuing education programs to both attorneys and certified public accountants about the federal income tax ramifications and securities law implications of buying, selling and compensating service providers with cryptocurrency.
