Attorney Shalini Natesan is another integral part of our esteemed tax law team.

With over 10 years of experience in Corporate Law, Ms. Natesan excels in handling diverse business matters, including those with significant tax implications. Her in-depth understanding of tax law enables her to draft documents for tax-efficient business formations, optimizing benefits for clients in New York State and the Northeast. Shalini’s expertise extends to structuring subsidiary entities strategically to maximize tax advantages while minimizing liabilities. Additionally, she adeptly manages tax aspects in large commercial real estate transactions, ensuring clients make informed decisions during purchases, sales, rentals, leases, and bank dealings.

Mr. Towne has valuable experience in the area of tax law including counseling individuals and business in all areas of federal, state, and local taxation.
