BUSINESS PLANNING

Estate Planning
Lourie & Cutler advises clients regarding a wide variety of individual and entity income tax planning issues. We frequently advise individuals and entities who are establishing new ventures regarding choice of entity, suggesting the optimal operating structure given the goals, ownership and expected operations of the new business. Once the new entities are formed, we provide assistance with the on-going operations and development of the business.

We act as corporate counsel for many clients, advising them on day-to-day business matters and also more significant transactions, such as acquisitions, mergers, reorganizations and sales.

Our business succession planning practice integrates business and estate planning. In this area, we advise clients regarding the most tax-efficient way to pass business interests on to family members to permit continuation of the business after a client's death. This planning often is accomplished both during lifetime, through gifts, new stock issuances or installment sales, and at death, through a client's estate plan. When succession planning involves third parties, we assist our clients with the drafting and implementation of redemption agreements, cross-purchase agreements and other arrangements.
