Tax Implications for New Partners

Becoming a partner in a law firm can be stressful, we can help.

For many lawyers, becoming a partner is a priority, yet it's surprising how few are prepared for the financial implications of such an undertaking. In fact, many are uninformed about what joining a law firm partnership really entails, both in terms of the financial commitment and the personal wealth management the partnership requires.

KLR's Rising Stars Services Group can help with the important financial considerations all new law firm partners should take into account. Between capital contributions, multi-state returns, foreign tax credits and bigger retirement benefits, there's a lot to be concerned about.
