Effective planning is a fluid process, which is why it is essential to work with a firm that looks at your total picture and helps you to be better prepared for life’s challenges. Our team approach keeps you focused on what is important to you.
Audits and IRS disputes relating to estate and gift taxes can be especially challenging. On many occasions they occur while individuals are still grieving the loss of a loved one. We understand this can be an emotional & draining time. We provide caring counsel and compassionate, trustworthy, representation while focusing on solving complex estate tax and gift tax disputes for our clients.
We assist taxpayers and their other advisors in evaluating litigation risk when preparing a return, navigating estate and gift tax audits, advocating in IRS Appeals, and litigating both in Tax Court and in the refund litigation forums. The McClure Firm can explain various aspects of gifts and estate tax planning and find the best way to combine prudent gift giving with tax minimization.
If you own a business or company, you need to have a comprehensive succession plan in place to make sure you successfully transfer ownership when the time comes.

With the right exit strategy and succession plan, you can feel confident in the important business decisions you have to make.
Running a business can be overwhelming at times, so it is understandable that many business owners often forget to plan for future changes in management or the possible directions a company may go in down the line. Our experienced succession planning lawyer can draft a well-rounded plan for your business so you can focus your effort on running and growing the company. Business succession planning is a complex task that shouldn’t be ignored by any entrepreneur. Get in touch with our team at the Law Offices of Geoffrey A.
