Tax
The Shapiro Sher Guinot & Sandler tax law practice group supports and enhances all the practice areas of the Firm to ensure that business transactions and activities are handled in the most efficient tax manner possible. The group deals with income taxes and transactional taxes.
Representative of the complexity of our tax work is that our senior tax attorney, Lonnie M. Ritzer, is often hired by other lawyers to assist them in transactional matters, and he assisted in drafting the limited liability company legislation in Maryland. In addition, associate David M. Hausner, an experienced CPA, brings a wealth of tax law experience to each matter. From large public corporations to small businesses, Shapiro Sher’s clients benefit from the experience, depth, and sophistication of our tax law practice.
