Federal tax issues affect almost every decision facing clients, whether individuals or businesses. It does not matter at what stage you have been engaged (setting up a business, purchasing/selling raw materials or inventory, or hiring/terminating employees); taxes impact the advice you are being asked to give. If your practice focus is more litigation-based, you need to be aware that potential settlements and judgments will have a tax impact on your clients. It is always better to factor taxes into your advice and strategy before starting settlement negotiations and especially before presenting your case to a judge or jury. At this seminar, we introduce attorneys to a tax-basics presentation followed by practice-specific information so that attorneys can properly advise their clients on how taxes factor into decisions.
The purpose of this seminar is three-fold: (i) to provide non-tax practitioners a tax bootcamp of the basic tax rules for individuals, businesses, and trusts and estates; (ii) to provide information for both transactional- and litigation-focused attorneys with tax issues specific to these types of practices; and (iii) to provide helpful tips and strategies for handling IRS tax audits, appeals, and collections matters.
