Practice Areas

Taxation - Federal, State & Local

We have a highly sophisticated tax practice in conjunction with our personal and business practices. The Firm's tax practice covers all aspects of federal and state taxation, including: employee benefit plans; civil tax litigation; estate planning and probate; international tax; corporate tax planning; administrative disputes; trusts; and taxation of individuals.

We design and implement qualified and non-qualified employee benefit plans to meet clients' deferred compensation and retirement objectives. The firm considers each client's particular needs, financial situation and ultimate goals in creating plans to accommodate changing tax and retirement criteria and to provide flexible executive compensation programs.

Although tax planning is designed to avoid litigation, some clients come to us with pre-existing problems. Such clients benefit from the firm's years of experience in negotiating with the Louisiana Department of Revenue and the Internal Revenue Service, and in representing clients before the Tax Court and State and Federal Courts.

The Firm recognizes the importance of prudent and innovative tax planning for individuals and corporations involved in international business activities. We advise clients on the advantageous use of tax treaties, tax exemptions for those doing business abroad and the use of tax-advantaged corporations and foreign-based subsidiaries.
