Exceptional tax and business counsel for our acquisition

Our firm recently engaged Emily Dorisio to guide us through the acquisition of a smaller competitor. With nearly three decades of experience, her deep knowledge of the tax implications and business transaction structuring was immediately apparent. She expertly navigated the complexities of entity formation and the federal income tax consequences for both the business and us as individual owners. Her recognition in Tax Law is well-deserved; she identified several potential pitfalls we had completely overlooked. The process was smooth, and her advice was always pragmatic and clear. While her expertise is top-tier, there were a few instances where response times on non-urgent emails could have been slightly quicker. That minor point aside, we felt in exceptionally capable hands throughout. For anyone in Lexington facing a complex business transaction with significant tax considerations, I would recommend Ms. Dorisio without hesitation.
