Essex County New Jersey Tax Law Lawyers

At the Lum Firm, our tax planning attorneys have appeared before the Internal Revenue Service, County Boards of Taxation, the New Jersey Tax Court, and the various federal courts involved in the determination of tax liability. Our commercial business group has broad knowledge in tax law that is a great benefit to businesses seeking experienced representation on tax related issues. Our firm focuses on tax issues related to:

• Tax and business planning.
• Negotiating and structuring of the purchase and sale of ongoing enterprises.
• Formation of general and limited partnerships.
• Negotiating and drafting stockholder agreements, as well as redemption and cross-purchase agreements.
• Implementation of transactions for individuals, corporations, and pass through entities such as, “S” Corporations, partnerships, LLC’s, LLP’s, and grantor trusts.

Our commercial business group has recently handled many tax related cases including successfully negotiating with the New Jersey Division of Taxation regarding major applications of the state’s Sales and Use Tax Law. These negotiations directly related to manufacturing, recycling, and maritime exemption. Additionally, we recently challenged the Internal Revenue Service’s characterization of distributions as stock redemptions and voluntary, deductible medical payments as opposed to constructive dividends.
