M&A and Tax Counsel for Buyers, Deal Teams, and the Attorneys Who Serve Them

I help buyers close acquisitions with confidence, give deal teams the tax structuring they need to protect value, and act as the tax counsel M&A attorneys and CPAs call in when a deal gets technical.

Buying a business?

Whether you're acquiring your first company or your fifth, I represent buyers through diligence, negotiation, and closing, with the tax issues built into the deal from day one instead of discovered after signing.

Already have deal counsel, need dedicated tax counsel?

Not every M&A attorney handles the tax structuring themselves, and they shouldn't have to. I step in to structure the deal, negotiate tax provisions, and make sure the transaction doesn't create a tax problem nobody saw coming.

An attorney or CPA with a client mid-deal?

I work as co-counsel and a consulting resource for firms that need dedicated tax expertise on a transaction (tax due diligence, F reorganizations, deal structuring) without adding a full-time tax partner to the file.

How working together typically starts

  1. 1

    Schedule a paid consultation

    A paid consultation gets you real time with me, not a screening call, to talk through your deal, structuring options, or tax exposure.

  2. 2

    We scope the engagement

    If you retain the firm, the consultation fee is credited in full toward the engagement, and we define exactly what I'm handling on your deal.

  3. 3

    I work the file

    From structuring and diligence through drafting, negotiation, and closing, with the tax stakes built into every step rather than addressed after the fact.
