Taxation

At Allen & Gooch, our goal is not simply to help businesses minimize their tax obligations, but to do so in ways that are consistent with their overall objectives. This strategic perspective underlies the sophisticated tax strategies we have developed for public and privately held C and S corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, individuals, trusts, estates, and tax-exempt entities. We have worked with firms in a variety of fields, from physicians’ groups to oilfield companies.

Expert Tax Planning

Our tax and transactional teams work together seamlessly to analyze all the aspects of a business so that they can maximize its favorable tax treatment. Together, they provide integrated guidance on such matters as corporate reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions, and stock purchase agreements. For tax-exempt organizations, we offer comprehensive legal counsel that includes advice on such issues as compliance, unrelated business taxable income, property tax exemptions, and fundraising.
