Boasting one of Florida's largest law-based tax departments, Gunster provides qualified, comprehensive counsel to a full spectrum of for-profit and exempt entities. Clients range from Fortune 500 companies to start-up ventures to individuals.
We address all international, federal and Florida tax matters for our clients, advising not only on compliance but also on planning and effective strategies tailored to each client's goals. In addition, we will represent clients in need of criminal-tax defense or involved in a tax controversy.
Clients seek our counsel in connection with the formation of business entities (S corporations, LLCs, partnerships, etc.), special-purpose entities (REITs, bankruptcy remote entities), mergers and acquisitions, nonprofits and joint ventures, and family entities.
We also structure all types of employee benefit plans, executive compensation and
deferred compensation arrangements for both taxable and tax-exempt employers.
Services in the international arena include inbound and outbound investment structuring, international investment in U.S. real estate, reciprocal tax exemption planning, and individual income tax and estate planning. We also structure offshore holding companies.
With an average of over 30 years of experience per shareholder, our tax attorneys are truly dedicated to their craft. The attorneys have distinguished themselves by participating in lectures and seminars, publishing numerous tax law articles, fielding interviews from local and national news agencies, and even drafting certain portions of the Florida Bar Tax Certification Examinations questions, model answers and the grading of those exams. Our tax attorneys have also been quoted by the IRS in professional publications, and many members have passed the CPA examination.
