Baker McKenzie, Duane Morris LLP, Seyfarth Shaw LLP, Pryor Cashman LLP - Tax Law Partner
-
Coopers & Lybrand (now PwC) - Tax Senior Associate

HERE'S WHY:
-
MAK Tax Law Group, P.C.’s founding attorney Marc A. Kushner has been advising and representing clients in their tax and tax transactional matters and audits for more than 30 years.
-
Clients – and their accounting and law firms – seek MAK’s (and Attorney Kushner’s) tax advice and representation because they get results, oftentimes beyond what was thought to be possible. No tax matter is too complicated, or too great or too small, and no tax audit or other tax proceeding is too dire for MAK.
-
For small, mid-size and even larger accounting and law firms for which it is not cost-effective to maintain an in-house tax department – and certainly not one with MAK’s tax expertise and experience.
-
MAK is well-positioned to be that tax department. Whether for a one-off transaction, a tax audit/examination, etc. or on a continuing basis. While these firms work steadfastly to achieve success for their clients in their areas of expertise, MAK is there to do the same for their clients in its area of expertise…Tax!
-
When an accounting or law firm entrusts its client’s tax needs to MAK, the firm is entrusting its client – and its relationship with its client – to MAK. MAK does not take this entrustment lightly and will work collaboratively with the firm with the singular goal of achieving tax success for the client.
MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF TAX RESULTS
TO ANY CLIENT, LARGE OR SMALL, THAT CLIENT'S TAX MATTER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TAX MATTER THERE IS (AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW MAK TREATS IT):
Attorney Kushner has represented and advised billionaire financiers and other high net worth individuals, celebrities, publicly traded and private real estate investment trusts and companies, partnerships, private equity funds, S and C corporations, tax-exempt organizations, etc. in a myriad of tax matters, both large and small, including:
-
Successfully structuring and negotiating
merger, leveraged recapitalization, joint
venture, formation/initial public offering,
liquidation and other transactions,
including those valued in the billions of
dollars and one liquidation transaction
favorably reported by the Wall Street
Journal;
-
Successfully representing clients in their
tax audits and other tax controversies,
some with tens of millions of dollars of
tax liability and millions more of interest
and penalties at stake including one
recent partnership audit whereby MAK
was not only able to reverse approx. $29
million of proposed IRS taxable income
increases but found $22 million of
additional ordinarydeductions;
-
Successfully drafting, interpreting and
negotiating partnership, limited liability
company and joint venture agreements;
-
Successfully structuring real estate acquisitions,
including Section 1031 kind kind exchanges; and
-
Successfully structuring cross-border transactions
MAK also represents smaller clients, who oftentimes have tax matters just as challenging and complicated as those of MAK’s larger clients
