Our Services

GT’s State & Local Tax Practice counsels clients on transactional planning, tax-advantaged business restructuring, audit defense and representation in state and local administrative proceedings, appeals all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, and large-scale multi-jurisdictional litigation. We collaborate closely with our firm’s nationally recognized Government Law and Policy Practice to help clients pursue results in the legislature as well.

Our team has assisted clients in obtaining and securing incentives from states and localities when making new investments and maintaining employment levels. We have also helped companies qualify for tax abatements, obtain enterprise zone benefits, and receive tax increment financing.

Our Industries

We serve a broad range of industries, including automotive, banking, chemical, credit card and consumer finance, energy, food, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, retail, technology, and telecommunications. We are also regularly consulted on real property transactions, business acquisitions, and other transfers to limit the liability of sellers, increase the protection of buyers, and oftentimes find untapped savings opportunities in structuring the transaction.
