How do I help clients see, and benefit from, the big picture?
Primarily a tax and M&A lawyer, my practice sits at the intersection of tax, transactions and practical business operations, giving me perspective on how the different pieces of a client’s business and legal structure fit together. With this broad scope, I’m often able to spot issues and opportunities that might not have been apparent if looking at only one aspect of a matter. For many clients, I serve as a trusted advisor or ‘outside in-house counsel,’ helping with whatever legal and business issues arise.
Applying advanced tax training to solve complex client problems
Jordan Field received advanced training in tax matters when earning his LL.M. in Taxation from New York University. Whether advising on transactions or the tax aspects of aviation, corporate and securities matters, employee benefits and ERISA, or executive compensation, he draws on that training and his many years of experience to distill complex tax issues, identify practical solutions and move matters forward. He also assists clients with federal and state tax planning and controversy, estate and gift tax, and considerations for tax-exempt organizations.
Helping businesses through acquisitions, sales and other strategic transactions
Leading transactions across a wide range of industries, Jordan advises clients on all deal phases and aspects, including tax considerations but also deal analysis and structuring, due diligence, negotiation, closing and post-closing integration. His role often extends well beyond a single transaction; he recently helped a client he has represented since 2008 sell its convenience store business, building upon years of work involving the company’s entity structure, tax classifications, numerous operational side deals, and even the owner’s estate planning.
A unique focus on aircraft tax
Aircraft tax is a particularly specialized part of Jordan’s practice. He advises clients on the federal, state, and local tax considerations involved in acquiring, owning, operating, leasing and ultimately disposing of aircraft, including acquisition structuring, determining where an aircraft should be based and where delivery should occur, and navigating sales and use tax issues that can arise across multiple states. His work also encompasses federal income tax issues associated with aircraft ownership and use, including depreciation and the tax treatment of personal and compensatory use. Because aircraft transactions can involve multiple jurisdictions and tax considerations at every stage of ownership, Jordan advises clients throughout the lifecycle of an aircraft rather than focusing solely on the initial acquisition.
