Pierce Atwood's Tax Group works closely with the Business Group to structure transactions in the most tax-efficient manner possible. Tax considerations often determine the form and the viability of contemplated transactions. Accordingly, members of our group become involved in transactional matters at the outset, learning and understanding the client's business, structure, and balance sheet to achieve the client's objectives. Members of the Tax Group regularly advise clients on the federal, state, and international tax aspects of corporate reorganizations, mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs and other dispositions, joint ventures, financings, and restructurings.
Representative Experience

This was paired with an expansion of its senior secured working capital line of credit. We have also assisted BlueTarp with their related technology and retail financial regulatory needs.
