Tax Attorneys.
Tax counsel for individuals, businesses, and estates across California — six integrated tax disciplines, backed by a full-service national firm.
Fennemore is recognized for its tax representation across greater Sacramento and Northern California, assisting clients with personal, business, and estate tax concerns. Our attorneys advise a wide range of businesses — licensed professionals, food and product manufacturers and distributors, agricultural associations, real estate owners, developers and builders, and general business owners.
Our tax services are not stand-alone advice. They are built on a comprehensive understanding of how tax planning and advocacy fit into a client’s broader personal, business, real estate, litigation, and estate planning matters. Whether the concern is a small tax question or a major acquisition, our tax attorneys guide clients through the complexity of tax law — California depth, now backed by a full-service national firm.
