We provide advice to clients ranging from individuals to sophisticated corporate clients on all aspects of tax planning, and on the impact of the ever-changing landscape of federal, state, and local tax laws and regulations that affect business operations in Louisiana and around the world. Our extensive experience with many types of transactions has identified tax opportunities and exposures and has served our clients to structure, manage, and negotiate transactions to accomplish their goals in a time efficient matter.

Among the transactions that require tax analysis, planning, and implementation are business acquisitions and dispositions (including mergers), compensation planning, business separations, capital formation and funding, financial restructuring, and stockholder and limited liability company agreements. We are familiar with finding and creating solutions for various pitfalls, which could otherwise result in significant present and future tax expense.
