PRACTICE AREAS > Corporate Business & Tax

Earp Cohn's corporate, business and tax attorneys are experienced and recognized for their expertise in serving the needs of middle market companies both in and outside of New Jersey.

We provide a full range of services to these clients which include publicly-held corporations, financial institutions, entrepreneurs, family-owned and other closely-held businesses, as well as joint ventures and limited and general partnerships formed for real estate and other business purposes.

We have earned our reputation as astute, hard-working attorneys who are responsive to the needs of our clients. Our experience and depth of expertise is hard to match. Our manageable size enables us to work more closely with our clients than other comparable firms, providing personalized, hands-on attention to every matter. We pride ourselves on being known for our ability to provide practical solutions to real world problems.

The Corporate, Business & Tax practice includes providing traditional corporate services and representing clients in specific transactions as well as providing ongoing, day-to-day counseling and advice.

Traditional Business & Corporate Services

Our attorneys are adept at handling routine and sophisticated business transactions for our clients, including:

• the structure, negotiation, and documentation of commercial and financial transactions;
• mergers, acquisitions, and corporate and business reorganizations;
• licensing agreements;
• the formation and organization of new business ventures, including limited liability companies;
• shareholder dispute resolution and other corporate control transactions;
• agreements among business owners regarding operation and governance of their business entities.

Business Counseling & Advice

Earp Cohn lawyers provide full-service business counseling for entrepreneurs and other client companies adding value through sound legal advice that advances our client's objectives. We work with companies on an ongoing basis, often including serving as general counsel throughout the relationship.   In these valuable relationships, we are side-by-side with our clients every step of the way from beginning with the choice of the appropriate business entity, organization and structure to growth through merger and acquisition, and thereafter providing advice and guidance on specific transactions.  

Tax Practice

Our tax practice includes many specialty areas. Attorneys practicing in business, estate planning, and retirement planning use their tax expertise in structuring corporate transactions, such as redemptions, buy-sell agreements, and estate freezes.

The firm's tax attorneys also structure and design all types of pension and employee benefit plans including deferred compensation plans. The tax aspects of personal, estate, and financial and investment planning are a major focus of our tax practitioners.
