Attorney collaboration

I partner with law firms without in-house tax expertise, and with solo practitioners who encounter tax issues in discrete matters.

Corporate Litigation Immigration

Corporate

  • Business entity formation, partnership structuring, M&A, spin-offs and split-ups

  • Tax-focused transactional due diligence and opinion drafting

What referring attorneys say

The counsel other lawyers call

  • ★★★★★

    “I’ve relied on Asher for over fifteen years to guide my clients who have been victims of sexual abuse through one of the most sensitive questions they face: whether the IRS will take a share of their recovery. His legal opinions are thorough and carefully written, and he has twice navigated the private letter ruling process on behalf of my clients with excellent results. He is the person I refer my clients to when tax exposure is a concern—a true expert and a trusted colleague.”

    “I am an advocate from the Isle of Man and needed some assistance with a US based client. The client was due to settle their claim and wanted to know what the tax implications of the settlement would be. Asher was incredibly helpful, quickly understood the situation and provided clear and simple advice for the client with a quick turn-around time. Asher was great to work with and I would happily recommend him to anyone needing US tax advice in the future.”
