Whiteford has extensive experience in advising hospitals, continuing care retirement communities, assisted living facilities, and health care non-profits on a broad range of federal, state and international tax issues. For example, we guide our clients from initial start-up through maturity on all aspects of tax issues in order to enhance the tax efficiency of their activities and transactions, to limit their exposure to controversy, and to help them comply with federal, state and local tax laws. Members of our Tax Section also have substantial experience representing clients in controversy matters, including administrative appeals, litigation of state tax matters in state courts, and federal tax matters in federal courts.
The attorneys in our Tax Section work closely with attorneys in our employee benefits, estates and trusts, real estate, litigation, employment law, and corporate and securities sections of the firm. By using this team-oriented approach, we can more comprehensively represent our health care clients, whether for profit or not for profit.
