Corporate and Business

Usman Law Group, P.C. provides a broad range of legal services to our business clients including business entity formation (such as the organization of limited liability companies, partnerships and corporations) and the tax planning associated with these entities, and advice relating to employer/employee matters, buy-sell arrangements, lease negotiations, mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, divestitures and other transactional matters

Federal and State Tax Planning

Our firm provides sophisticated federal and state tax planning associated with the business and investment transactions entered into by our clients. The firm has special expertise in tax issues associated with the formation and operation of limited liability companies, partnerships and S corporations. We also represent entities and individual clients before the IRS and in the litigation of tax disputes.

Litigation and Dispute Resolution

We believe that disputes should be resolved through litigation only as a last resort. We work with our clients to explore all possible alternatives before a decision is made to pursue litigation. If there are no other means to resolve a dispute, we are there with our client, planning and executing a strategy that reflects the client’s needs. A client who chooses to embark on a course of litigation becomes an active participant, not merely an interested bystander. The client is kept informed about the progress of the case, the options and details of the strategy to be pursued and the expected costs and benefits of that strategy. In this way, a client can make informed decisions affecting both the outcome and the cost of achieving the desired results. Our firm is qualified to practice in both the state and federal courts.

Estate Planning; Trust and Estate Administration

A substantial portion of our firm’s practice involves estate and gift tax planning and business succession planning. This area of practice ranges from drafting and implementing the “basic” estate plan, usually involving revocable trusts and “pour-over” wills, to the more sophisticated estate plan, including structuring family limited partnerships, grantor retained annuity trusts, generation-skipping planning, irrevocable life insurance trusts, charitable trusts.  We effectively administer on-going estates and trusts, both for incapacitated individuals and beneficiaries of trusts. We also provide a broad range of post-mortem administrative services — from simple probate matters to complex estate settlement

Real Estate

Our firm’s real estate practice includes services relating to acquisitions, sales, development, construction, leasing and financing. We also structure sophisticated, non-simultaneous like-kind and reverse like-kind exchanges. A real estate transaction may be part of a comprehensive business transaction. In that event, our ability to provide business, tax and real estate-oriented legal services forms a complete package of representation.

Tax Return Preparation

We are available for expert preparation of corporate, individual, estate and payroll tax preparation for compliance with both Federal and State agencies.  We can also provide assistance in resolving audit and outstanding balance issues.
