Tax Planning and Compliance
The Busch Firm has built its reputation on sophisticated tax planning for our clients. Unlike many firms, where tax planning is provided as an afterthought to corporate or real estate transactions, we pride ourselves on applying our tax expertise from the outset of any transaction for our clients' benefit. Our emphasis is not on just "doing the deal", but making sure the deal is structured most advantageously from an income and estate tax standpoint.
Our tax lawyers have legal training and experience, and are also CPAs as well. Members of our firm are authors and lecturers for professional groups such as the California Continuing Education of The Bar and The California Society of CPAs, and have many published articles. Unlike most law firms, we are also able to implement our advice by offering tax compliance services. Our areas of expertise include:
- Structuring and planning for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses for public and private clients.
- Executive compensation, including stock options and other techniques.
Tax planning for real estate purchases, exchanges, sales, and major developments. - Buy-sell and other succession agreements for businesses.
- Sophisticated tax planning strategies for disposition of large blocks of publicly traded stocks.
- Advanced pension and retirement strategies.
- Advice regarding structure of new ventures, including choice of entity and other tax planning.
- Quarterly and year end tax planning, including preparation of detailed projections which permit analysis of different planning options.
Tax planning is a critical component of financial success. Our staff has the skill and experience to help you minimize your tax liability by understanding and utilizing advanced planning techniques that will result in the most favorable tax treatment.
