Overview
Mark advises clients on international, federal, state, and local tax matters, as well as represents clients in the areas of estate planning, probate and trust administration, business succession planning, marital property, and tax planning. He works with individuals, couples, business owners and other professionals to accomplish their objectives while minimizing tax burdens and reducing financial risk. His practice includes planning for unique assets, international considerations, and beneficiaries with special needs. He also works with nonprofit organizations on tax and governance issues.
Mark offers more than 15 years of experience guiding clients through the difficult process of audits, administrative appeals, and litigation. His clients have cases before the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, various IRS appeals officers, and in the U.S. Tax Court. He takes the time to understand his clients and keep them informed so that any decisions are appropriate to their unique circumstances.
Mark also counsels clients forming, buying, selling, or dividing their businesses. He guides companies through the federal and state tax consequences of transactions and devises avenues to minimize the impact of taxation by multiple authorities. As businesses expand their geographic reach through physical locations or online forums, they potentially fall within the ambit of many tax authorities. Mark is a valuable resource for clients navigating multijurisdictional taxation; whether crossing state lines or international boundaries.
