Gallivan White Boyd’s corporate, business, and tax transactions practice offers a comprehensive range of services. From start-up companies to small, local businesses to longstanding, family-owned businesses, we advise private corporate clients by formalizing the appropriate corporate structure or negotiating key transactions for a business. Our attorneys are also able to advise on federal, state, and local tax issues and provide tax planning.
We appreciate that corporate, business, and tax transactions are often highly sensitive endeavors for any private entity as the business owners live and breathe their businesses. GWB understands that entrepreneurial triumph takes dream, direction, and drive. Our approach is to work with you to highlight those qualities, apply the law to determine efficient outcomes, and spot other intangible circumstances and how they might impact the result.
