LITIGATION Friedman,
Enriquez, & Carlson engages in a broad-based litigation practice which spans business,
real estate, employment, commercial,
entertainment and personal matters. Our litigation style is aggressive,
when necessary and appropriate, and our results are excellent. On the business side, our legal services include the formation
and structuring of new business entities and ongoing operational
representation. Our emphasis is on facilitating business transactions
and making deals happen. Our expertise includes the acquisition
and disposition of businesses and the private placements of securities
and franchisor-franchisee representation, involving both federal
and state regulatory authorities. The firm offers extensive crossover experience in real estate-related
issues, including transactional planning, negotiation, documentation,
facilitation and execution. More specifically, these areas include
real estate sales and acquisitions; development and syndication
and contractor operational problems; lease negotiation and documentation
for both landlords and tenants in residential, industrial and commercial
contexts; condominium homeowner association representation; and
brokerage commission matters. Our philosophy of estate planning is to begin by assessing our
clients needs based on family and business objectives and property
interests. We analyze our clients gross and net estate values as
well. Estate planning services include wills, family trusts, irrevocable
trusts, charitable gifts and trusts and lifetime gifting, among
others. Because we work closely with other specialists, we can
handle all aspects of trust administration and probate, including
tax return preparation that complies with all applicable regulations. The
advent of E commerce has created new legal issues and demands
your business must face.
At Friedman, Enriquez & Carlson we
can help you anticipate and avoid problems. We can also represent
you if the need for litigation arises. In keeping with the ongoing growth of multi-media, we continue
to respond to the demand for entertainment industry-related legal
needs, including contracts, general counseling, negotiation and
litigation services. We count among our clients production companies,
music publishing, personal and business managers, agents, writers,
producers, directors and music, television and motion picture talent. Our tax practice is diverse, focusing on the analysis and structure
of tax planning strategies and devices to minimize clients' individual
and entity income taxation, at both the state and federal levels.
In order to accomplish this, we structure transactions and prepare
documentation to maximize tax advantages. In the event of an audit,
we will handle all aspects of audit negotiation, protests and tax
court litigation. In order to achieve maximum results, a certified
specialist in tax matters works closely with us.
