Business, Tax and Corporate Finance Practice Group

Bush Ross’ clients range from start-up enterprises formed by entrepreneurs to large, well-established corporations, both publicly and privately held.

The nature of transactional law requires broad experience, a thorough understanding of diverse laws and regulations, and an appreciation of the client’s business. Bush Ross attorneys have experience in almost every form of commercial transaction, including private and public securities offerings and mergers and acquisitions. As most commercial transactions involve significant tax consequences, it is important to receive sophisticated advice in this area, and many of the attorneys working in our Business, Tax and Corporate Finance Group hold graduate degrees (LL.M.’s) in federal taxation. Our experienced and knowledgeable attorneys have proven their ability to produce results within the tight deadlines characteristic of complex commercial transactions.
