California State and Local Taxation

For three decades, we have been helping to resolve sales, property, franchise, and income tax disputes at the audit or administrative appeal level, and litigating at the trial and appellate levels when necessary. As the California tax structure continues to change, our experienced SALT team provides guidance through the increasingly complex tax maze.

Estate Planning and Probate

A well-prepared estate plan will cover how your estate will be distributed when you pass away, as well as how your personal and financial affairs will be managed in the event you become incapacitated. Our attorneys carefully craft comprehensive estate plans, including revocable living trusts, wills and other estate planning documents. Each document is specifically tailored to the needs and goals of our clients. We are particularly sensitive to tax considerations in estate planning, and counsel our clients regarding transfer tax implications, including estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes.

Issues of mental or physical incapacity can make a person legally incompetent to manage his or her own affairs. Advance health care directives and durable powers of attorney can be drafted in advance to allow others to fulfill your wishes with regard to medical procedures, end-of-life decisions and financial matters, should you become unable to express those wishes and carry them out yourself.

Healthcare

California healthcare facilities are subjected to a complex array of regulations from a number of public and private agencies at the state and federal levels. Aside from regulatory hurdles, healthcare facilities are coming under increasing pressure from an increase in uncompensated care, and lower reimbursement from payor.

Our extensive background in this area of law gives us the legal and practical experience to keep our healthcare clients operating efficiently and in compliance during these times of shrinking revenues and growing medical needs. Among our healthcare clients, we have long served as general counsel to PIH Health, a regional comprehensive integrated delivery network, with a direct focus on its regulatory, contracting and governance needs.
