Our lawyers regularly counsel clients in matters involving federal, state and local taxation, including tax assessments, use and occupancy taxes, business privilege taxes, transfer or documentary stamp taxes, tax exemptions and tax abatement programs. Typical of our real estate representations are our achievement of real estate tax exemptions for a major metropolitan medical center, our establishing a favorable tax assessment on a multifamily property for an out-of-state developer, and our innovative structuring of a number of real estate transactions to minimize the effect of applicable transfer taxes.
