Donovan Legal PLLC is a tax-first firm. Every engagement is read for its tax consequence, and the tax practice spans the entire arc of a tax position — designing it, reporting it correctly, and defending it if the IRS challenges it. The same lawyer who structures the deal prepares the return that reports it and represents the client if that return is examined. The practice is organized into three connected disciplines.
Designing the structure and the transaction for the after-tax outcome — entity choice, real estate strategy, deferral, and cross-border planning.
Reporting the position correctly and on time — returns, the international information-reporting regime, and entity and foreign-client compliance.
Defending the position when the IRS challenges it — from the first examination notice through Appeals, collection, and the courtroom.
The three disciplines are deliberately integrated — a position planned with its eventual defense in mind is a stronger position. To discuss a matter, contact the firm through the contact page; the firm’s Real Estate practice and its analyzer tools support the tax work.
