Tax Law
Federal and state taxation of businesses and business owners
Taxes affect many business decisions, and taxes particularly play a major role in structuring many M&A transactions. Mr. Staub's strong tax background gives him the knowledge and experience to spot issues that another business attorney might overlook, often bringing added value to the economics of the transaction. Understanding the tax consequences of an asset sale versus a sale of stock, familiarity with the IRS rules on allocations of the purchase price, and being able to steer the parties through the complex tax rules governing tax-free mergers when appropriate to the transaction are all key skills that Mr. Staub brings to the M&A transaction.
