Again, not only were there legal "hoops" through which the parties needed to move, but the transaction also involved emotion and the difficulties which often arise in the sale of a business which often rise in the sale of a business which has been developed through years of hard work.He has also successfully represented clients in a number of tax cases, some of which are identified above.
