Our practice involves advising domestic and foreign publicly held companies on the tax aspects of corporate acquisitions, recapitalizations, restructurings and workouts. Our tax lawyers also design new financial instruments and arrangements. We plan for the preservation and utilization of net operating losses and recommend appropriate structures for affiliated corporate groups under the consolidated return regulations. Both in connection with transactions and as part of our ongoing advice to our clients, we propose methods of executive compensation, including stock options and other equity incentives.
This advice is based on careful consideration of tax and securities law, integrating the two for coherent practical planning. We design and implement pension, profit-sharing and employee stock ownership (ESOP) plans, together with nonqualified plans and other compensation and benefit programs. We regularly counsel corporate clients on innovative financing techniques for a variety of capital markets.
