How I represent clients at Schwabe
I guide businesses through complex transactions and tax matters with a commitment to provide clear, actionable strategies that drive growth and mitigate legal risks. My experience includes advising clients on the tax implications of various corporate transactions and identifying strategic tax planning opportunities. In addition, I have represented clients in tax audits and collection matters with the IRS, and piloted them through every stage, from the initial examination stage to appeals.
Whether navigating corporate tax compliance or implementing strategies to minimize tax liabilities, I strive to simplify the complexities of the legal landscape, and empower my clients to focus on their business with confidence.
Prior to Schwabe, I worked for a regional firm in Seattle.
