Tax Group

Almost nothing is more complex than taxes. Federal, state and local taxes can add up to a significant amount of money for individuals and for businesses. The various tax laws, regulations and rules are long, complex and can sometimes be illogical. Further, the tax rules seem to continually change with the politics of the day at the Federal, state and local level.

At Lathrop & Clark, our Tax Group offers a comprehensive understanding of personal and business tax obligations. We are experienced in tax planning for individuals, corporations, partnerships and limited liability entities. Our tax practice includes income tax, gift and estate tax, real estate and personal property tax, employment taxes, and sales and use taxes. Our practice includes the preparation of various tax returns, response to governmental notices, audits, litigation and analysis of the tax effect of contemplated transactions. We can work with members of your financial planning team, like financial planners and CPAs to develop comprehensive tax strategies. One of our attorneys is also a CPA.

Many individuals and businesses wish to organize their affairs in a tax efficient manner. Our tax attorneys assist individuals and businesses in such tax planning. We also have significant experience in tax planning through tax-deferred exchanges of real estate and business properties, estate planning, corporate sales and reorganizations, and business formations.

Our attorneys also assist in the formation and administration of non-profit and charitable entities. Often it is important for the organization to receive recognition as a tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). We counsel clients on applying for and maintaining 501(c)(3) status and the various other types of income tax-exempt status.

Most personal and business decisions have tax consequences. Our Tax Group will work with you to develop tax strategies which will further your personal and business goals.
