Taxation

Whiteford, Taylor & Preston has extensive experience in advising businesses, individuals and non-profit organizations on a broad range of federal, state and international tax issues. For example, we guide business clients from initial start-up through maturity on all aspects of tax issues in order to enhance the tax efficiency of their activities and transactions, to limit their exposure to controversy, and to help them comply with federal, state and local tax laws. Members of our Tax Section also have substantial experience representing clients in controversy matters, including administrative appeals, litigation of state tax matters in state courts, and federal tax matters in federal courts.

The attorneys in our Tax Section work closely with attorneys in our corporate and securities, employee benefits, estates and trusts, real estate, litigation and employment law sections. By using this team-oriented approach, we can more comprehensively represent a wide range of clients, including closely-held businesses, middle market and public companies, partnerships, limited liability companies, non-profit organizations, foreign entities and sole proprietorships.

Members of our Tax Section have achieved national prominence in their areas of practice. They are active in state and federal bar associations. Two of our attorneys are past chairs of the Maryland State Bar Association's Tax Section. Members of the Tax Section are frequent speakers at seminars on current tax issues and have been course instructors at the Graduate Tax Programs of local universities.
