Overview

Tax considerations can have a tremendous impact on every aspect of your business, so it’s critically important to get them right. From the formation of your company to the closing of a transformative deal, your tax team can be the difference between crippling liabilities and beneficial structures.

Manatt offers broad, strategic support across a range of corporate, partnership and individual tax issues. We advise on choice of entity considerations, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), transactions issues—including tax-deferred exchanges under IRC Sections 1031 and 1033—employment tax issues, tax ruling requests, tax controversies, and more.

Our services include:

  • Corporate tax
  • Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs)
  • Estate planning
  • International tax
  • Non-profit and tax-exempt entities
  • Partnership tax
  • Real estate tax
  • State and local taxation
  • Tax controversies and litigation

We also represent clients in audits, tax dispute litigation and collection matters before agencies and courts. The practice includes participation in tax legislative projects, proposed regulations and private ruling requests. We also have extensive experience in the formation and operation of tax-exempt entities.

Tax strategy and company formation

The formation and structuring of your company create an opportunity for foundational tax decisions that can position you for long-term success.

Our tax attorneys guide clients throughout the formation, capitalization, reorganization and dissolution of private and public corporations, S corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and tax-exempt entities.

They design and implement tax-efficient, multi-entity acquisition, holding and operating structures for real estate developers, financial partners, private businesses and subsidiary operations, including multi-state businesses, liability-remote real estate, and IP holding companies and special purpose entities for complex financing transactions.

Transaction structuring for maximum tax efficiency

For every transaction you pursue, you want to ensure the most advantageous tax outcome possible. Our team can help.

We handle taxable and tax-free M&A deals, spin-offs, restructurings, joint ventures, debt and equity financings, partnership transactions, startup and venture capital investments and taxation of special entities such as S corporations, REITs and tax-exempt entities.

Our tax team also has considerable experience in long-range business tax planning and analyzing the tax aspects of corporate transactions, from mergers and acquisitions to public offerings, real estate matters to ESOPs, and syndications to joint ventures.
