The Royal Law Firm’s Tax and Wealth Planning practice frequently intersects with Business Transactions. We counsel clients on the federal income tax considerations and consequences in various business transactions. There are substantial tax implications in the formation of a business entity, to operations, to structuring distributions, key employee compensation issues, to termination and sale of business, and business expansion, including venture capital and reorganizations. We incorporate our current and frequently updated legal knowledge in the ever-changing field of global, federal, state, and local tax legislation to optimize the advisory services we provide to our clients. Our team of attorneys experienced in corporate transactions and law, along with our network of legal professionals at international firms, enable us to provide comprehensive services in business transactions in a streamlined and efficient manner. 

We are also familiar with the practice and procedures of the IRS and work closely with the Office of the Chief Counsel and state revenue and tax authorities to address all tax compliance and regulatory issues for our clients. We provide tax opinions on complex tax issues to support tax compliance and business strategic goals for our clients.
