RESULTS

A high-profile client was referred initially due to a tax issue. The client had been in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy for two and a half years, had a settlement in a still-pending divorce proceeding contingent on bankruptcy court approval, had just completed a Federal tax audit resulting in liability of several million dollars which was to be collected, and had no current income of significance. He had top notch bankruptcy representation, a multi-office accounting firm, highly-recommended family law counsel and a personal lawyer. Despite the lineup of experts, the proposed 'solution' would have left him with next to nothing. Mark devised a plan of reorganization which resolved interrelated financial, tax, business, intellectual property and legal challenges. He saved the client several million dollars in taxes, allowed the client to retain significant wealth and redirected the client's energies and resources from past problems to future revenue creation.
