Troutman Pepper is a multi-practice law firm with more than 500 lawyers nationally. The firm provides corporate, litigation and regulatory legal services to leading businesses, governmental entities, nonprofit organizations and individuals throughout the nation and the world. Formed in 1890 in Philadelphia, Troutman Pepper has retained traditional values passed down through the decades: respect for the rule of law, pride in an excellent work product and commitment to the client's cause. Today, Troutman Pepper is a diverse firm of men and women from a broad spectrum of backgrounds, united in these values.

Troutman Pepper's tax practice group assists clients with proactive tax planning, including mergers and acquisitions, dispositions, public offerings, reorganizations, restructurings, liquidations and structured finance vehicles. Our tax lawyers are integrally involved in the structure and formation of partnerships, and have significant experience in private equity funds, hedge funds, mezzanine funds and their investments. We go beyond answering your tax questions and offer tax consulting services that are more comprehensive than the practices of many law firms. Our experience enables us to provide advice that is relevant to your local and global business objectives, and, because we do not serve a dual role as auditor and tax advisor, we can provide independent tax advice. Our tax professionals understand the "big picture," and in addition to legal tax analysis, we can produce the numbers. Also, because of our M&A tax team's Big Four background, we understand the financial statement implications of our tax advice.
