SPECIAL FOCUS: Representation of closely held companies

Vandenack Weaver excels at helping closely held companies manage, operate and protect their businesses. Our lawyers often serve as general counsel for these companies, handling a wide variety of issues including tax planning, transactional work, litigation, employee benefits, executive compensation and payroll, business expansion planning, mergers and acquisitions and more. We also offer business succession planning.

SPECIAL FOCUS: Tax issues

Vandenack Weaver’s tax attorneys expertly handle tax issues for clients. We analyze tax consequences of business structure, business transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and complex contracts. In addition, we help clients develop tax audit protection strategies and assist with regulatory and compliance issues involving state, local and international tax rules, including foreign labor and investments. We also assist with tax efficient employee benefit plans and executive compensation.

SPECIAL FOCUS: Employment and human resources consulting

Many closely held companies and startups lack the capital to hire a human resources company to develop their employee and executive compensation policies. We fill that role and ensure that your business is in compliance with all state and federal employment laws and regulations.
