resources and background in business law, including M&A, corporate, financial, regulatory, and tax disciplines, provides us
the insight to assist private and closely held businesses in structuring ESOPs to respond to a variety of issues and challenges.
Our clients include business owners, corporations, and internal and external trustees and fiduciaries, which we have represented
in a wide range of transactions involving business successions, supplemental employee benefit plans and tax-free recapitalizations.</p>
<p>Our attorneys work closely with banks providing trustee services to the plan and collaborate with the lawyers and advisers to
the owners of closely held businesses. This team approach achieves results that make business sense while complying with the
complex and technical aspects involved. Additionally, because we believe prior due diligence is the key to successful ESOP
transactions, we perform thorough research in preparation for the transaction.</p>

<p>Our attorneys are well-versed in estate planning strategies that successfully align business and personal
financial goals. We are particularly adept at structuring plans that minimize estate taxes incurred by fund managers
and business owners, and that afford the most advantageous application of lawful exemptions, as well as in utilizing
techniques such as various types of trusts that reduce the overall size of the taxable estate.</p>
<p><b>Strategies</b></p>
<p>With proper ownership structure in place, entities that receive management fees and incentive fees for new hedge funds may use the income generated to lower, rather than increase, the value of the estate for tax purposes. Moreover, it is possible to avoid estate taxes completely, utilizing trusts and other techniques that maximize the exemption potential of these investments.</p>
