Taxation
Vasallo Sloane, P.L. guides clients through the maze of the Internal Revenue Code and state laws, providing tax planning advice for
high net worth individuals, executives, developers, investors, and emerging growth and middle market businesses. A number of our tax
lawyers have obtained advanced degrees in Taxation. Our tax attorneys routinely provide seminars and write articles for various publications on the
latest tax issues and trends. We routinely design and implement complex tax-efficient corporate and other structures in connection
with purchases, sales, reorganizations, mergers, acquisitions and divestitures. We also represent real estate developers, investors,
and operators in connection with their real estate related acquisitions and divestitures, including like-kind exchanges and other tax
issues attendant to real estate. In addition, we represent emerging growth companies, entrepreneurs and middle market businesses in
structuring and restructuring their operations to achieve their business and tax objectives. Our tax attorneys are intimately familiar
with the taxation of all types of entities, whether C corporations, S corporations, partnerships or otherwise, and we are frequently
called upon to determine the most appropriate method for compensation of employees and executives, how best to structure equity and
other alternative compensation, and related matters. Our tax lawyers also defend clients against federal and state audits, as well as
defending tax reporting positions before the IRS, the United States Tax Court, and federal and state courts. We have represented
numerous clients in connection with federally mandated disclosure requirements concerning offshore bank accounts and other cross-border
and offshore structures and transactions, as well as individuals who have failed to file necessary U.S. income tax returns, as well as
other required disclosures. With respect to cross-border transactions, we provide guidance concerning inbound transactions (foreign
companies and investors doing business in the United States) and outbound transactions (U.S. companies and individuals doing business
outside the United States). Our tax attorneys have structured, implemented and documented sophisticated cross-border structures and
transactions in the Caribbean, South & Central America, Asia, Europe and Africa. Our tax lawyers are also well versed in the taxation
of various types of estates and trusts. We routinely design and implement sophisticated estate plans for high net worth individuals,
both U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens who reside in, own assets, or do business in the United States. We have travelled to and
provided counsel to non-U.S. persons who are citizens of and who reside in the Caribbean and Europe and their advisors as to how to
transfer wealth in an organized and asset protected manner regardless of the particular tax jurisdiction they are in.
