Taxation

The tax practice at DRB works closely with the Real Estate, Private Funds and Corporate practices of the firm to address a variety of complex legal issues. We are regularly called upon to represent clients in fund formation, joint ventures, acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings and workout transactions. In addition, the tax practice has developed a specialty in advising sponsors and tax-exempt/tax favored investors in UBIT, unrelated debt financed income and REIT compliant structures. The tax practice is regularly engaged by other law firms and accounting firms to address complex tax issues on behalf of their clients.

We routinely advise our clients on win-win tax strategies, taking into account the tax position of our clients as well as the tax positions of our counterparties.

We also have an active practice representing our clients before the Internal Revenue Service and state and local taxing authorities, both in audit situations as well as seeking guidance from the government in letter rulings, penalty abatements and related matters. We have worked closely with our clients’ inside and outside auditors and accountants to ensure the best result for our clients.
