What we do

Three practices, one senior team.

Our practices share one team, so the tax analysis behind a deal carries into the provision and the treasury policy that follow it.

Industries

Five sectors with the same hard problems.

Novel assets, cross-border entities, heavy state tax exposure, and rules that change quickly. We work across all five sectors, and what we learn in each one informs the others.

How we work

Direct access, defined scope, no handoffs.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    A direct conversation with the partner who will lead the work. We define the question, the decision it feeds, and the deadline.

  2. 02

    Engagement letter and work order

    A master engagement letter sets the terms once. Each project runs on a work order with defined scope, deliverables, and fees.

  3. 03

    Senior-led delivery

    The people you met do the analysis. We coordinate directly with your auditors, counsel, and other advisors.

  4. 04

    Ongoing support

    New questions start as new work orders under the same terms, without renegotiating the relationship.

Leadership

The partner you meet is the partner who does the work.
