One of the most valued aspects of Kouatly & Associates’ practice continues to be our dedicated focus on tax issues from the earliest possible stage of transaction. Having garnered a wealth of legal experience working in highly complex tax structuring transactions, we provide concise and up-to-date tax solutions to our national and international clients in their most sophisticated business dealings.

Our record in tax law ensures our ability to meet our clients’ needs, whether they are individuals, corporate entities or financial institutions. We understand that tax planning must be balanced, with challenges resulting from operational, accounting, regulatory and financial considerations, and we always endeavor to find the best ways to add value and increase the overall economic benefits of our clients by devising innovative approaches to reduce their tax burdens. Our detailed approach allows us to identify obscure but potentially costly tax issues and offer solutions with the highest level of expertise.
