Eversheds Sutherland SALT practice
Our state and local tax (SALT) lawyers can provide you with tax planning, litigation and policy advice on all aspects of SALT law. Our SALT team is comprised of approximately 30 attorneys with experience in corporate income, sales/use, gross receipts, excise, property, payroll and many other taxes.
The breadth of our practice is notable for the types of services we provide our clients.
Consulting. We advise our clients on the tax consequences of their products, services, and transactions. Our advice has enabled them to determine the sales taxability of new offerings, the tax consequences of corporate reorganizations, and the identification of more efficient tax structures. Our work also includes advising our clients of the financial statement consequences of their tax positions.
Controversy. We represent our clients at every stage of tax disputes, from the receipt of audit letters, through trials, to appeals through state supreme courts. We approach controversies with the goal of identifying favorable resolutions. In those instances when matters cannot be resolved, we bring to bear extensive litigation and appellate experience. Our litigation has altered the SALT landscape and redefined how states and localities impose taxes.
Policy. Many of our clients actively monitor state and local tax legislation and regulation. We provide monitoring services to our clients and alert them to proposals that may affect their businesses. We also provide our advice – including proposed legislative and regulatory language – to assist our clients to affect the adoption of particular provisions.
Our team is comprised of experienced SALT lawyers, several of whom have gained experience in Big 4 accounting firms and state tax organizations. We work collaboratively and bring the best team to each client challenge. Our SALT team is also known for its thought leadership. Our writing covers nearly every SALT development and is looked to by our clients and friends as a reliable source of SALT information and opinion.
