• Planning Strategies for Equity Grants: We work with clients to understand their goals, objectives, and timelines, helping to structure their grants for tax and cash flow efficiency.

Our team can help review the requirements of code section 1202 and determine if you are eligible for this powerful tax benefit.
• Liquidity Planning and Third Party Financing on Private Company Stock: Are you navigating a secondary or tender offer? Trying to understand that third-party financing model?
