We provide comprehensive solutions in the complex landscape of state and local taxation, helping to ensure businesses thrive in compliance with the ever-evolving tax laws.

Our attorneys assist clients with their Ohio SALT issues across a wide range of industries and taxes. Our services include tax planning, advising on transactions, issuing tax opinions for project financing, audit defense, and controversy. We frequently represent clients, such as manufacturers, retailers, and distributors, on sales and use tax, commercial activity tax, and net profits tax issues.

We also work closely with energy companies, project developers, and investors, offering tailored solutions that address the unique challenges and opportunities within the energy project taxation domain. In this context, we are highly experienced in Ohio’s energy sector taxes, such as the kilowatt-hour tax and the public utility tangible personal property tax. From advising on tax-efficient project financing to guiding clients through the intricacies of securing tax abatements and incentives (e.g., Qualified Energy Project program), our tax team plays a pivotal role in supporting the sustainable growth of their clients in the energy sector. Their commitment to staying abreast of legislative changes and industry trends positions them as trusted partners, empowering businesses to navigate the intricate intersection of energy and taxation with confidence.
