Tax
The Crowell & Moring LLP tax practice, led by Hal Heltzer, focuses on business-related tax issues for large entities. We have represented numerous Fortune 500 clients in tax audits and administrative appeals, both at the federal and state levels. We litigate tax matters before the US Tax Court, the Court of Federal Claims, US district courts, and in various state courts.
We are also involved in tax planning in connection with mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and a wide variety of debt and equity financings. Our deferred and executive compensation practice covers both qualified and nonqualified plans. We frequently deal with Federal excise tax matters. We counsel tax-exempt organizations, principally on UBIT matters such as Web-based ventures. We have also represented clients in connection with obtaining changes to the tax laws.
