The Business and Tax lawyers of Spieth, Bell, McCurdy & Newell represent a wide range of corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies from a diverse local, national and international client base. We provide full service representation in corporate, financing, sports management, aircraft ownership, and other practice areas.

The firm has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, sales and divestitures, leveraged buyouts, contract negotiations, shareholder agreements, and representation regarding personnel and employment law issues, including associated litigation.

We provide tax advice in connection with selecting the right form for each business situation (i.e. corporation, partnership or limited liability company), mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, split-offs and other tax-free distributions, and settlement awards in contract and tort disputes. Whether the client is a start-up venture or a well-established company, our tax planning advice focuses not just on our clients' immediate problems, but also the likely issues they will face as the business evolves and grows.

Our lawyers offer clients advice and assistance in a wide range of federal, state and local income tax matters, from transactional or operational issues to dispute resolution with taxing authorities in administrative as well as judicial forums.

Combined with years of hands-on experience, our lawyers possess an in-depth understanding of the income tax laws and a firm commitment to staying current with frequently changing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions that govern our income tax system.
