Sophisticated Advice

Clients bring their most complex tax challenges to McAllister Davis & Goldstein. Tax issues can be exceptionally complex and our lawyers are experts in the finer points of tax law. Just as important, we are able to provide practical solutions to technical problems and explain complicated issues in a clear and understandable way.
Our tax lawyers typically join a deal team at the outset of a transaction, as early direction on tax issues is often critical for success. We pride ourselves on our ability to partner with clients to help them achieve their goals, with advice tailored to each client’s unique commercial and tax objectives. Our global tax practice is largely a transactional and financing practice. We provide sophisticated, deal-specific tax advice that allows our clients to accomplish their commercial objectives on a tax-efficient basis.
International Tax Practice
With tax attorneys resident in the United States and Europe, the firm is capable of providing advice in various jurisdictions on a multitude of issues. We are one of the few international law firms that provides a combination of both domestic and cross-border tax advice within the major European jurisdictions.
For those jurisdictions in Europe in which we do not have attorneys resident or licensed, we have established a network of local counsel to whom we refer matters.
Our tax lawyers in the United States advise both U.S. companies investing abroad and non-U.S. investors in the United States. Similarly, our tax lawyers in Europe advise local clients on the national tax impacts of their international transactions. We pride ourselves on working together as one integrated team.
