In
addition to the firm's specialty in tax matters and related litigation,
we are at the forefront of domestic relations law. While domestic
relations law may seem inconsistent with a practice rooted in tax
and business matters, closer examination reveals a natural association
between the two.
Although participants in domestic disputes typically focus on emotional
issues, the law and courts are very much concerned with financial
matters. The resolution of domestic disputes requires a keen understanding
of the personal as well as economic partnership that is a marriage.
Attorneys must possess the tools and techniques necessary to demonstrate
the financial nature and extent of such a partnership to the courts.
Thus the economic and forensic techniques that figure into tax audits
and litigation are particularly suited to locating and evaluating
hidden or obscure assets in matrimonial actions.
Our
firm was instrumental in the formulation of the basic principles
of equitable distribution law in the landmark case of Price
v. Price. This case is still the dominant decision at the heart
of equitable distribution determinations in New York, and is cited
regularly by courts. |
