IR Global, the world’s largest exclusive network of advisory firms is delighted to introduce Christopher D. Freeman of Katz Teller. Christopher has joined IR as our exclusive Tax (Law) Member in US – Ohio.
Chris’s practice focuses on advising clients in a wide-range of tax, executive compensation, and retirement plan design and compliance matters.
A substantial part of Chris’s practice involves advising privately-held corporate and pass-through entities and their owners with respect to complicated tax matters arising throughout the business lifecycle, including preparation for and execution of significant corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, recapitalizations, and joint-ventures. Chris is frequently involved in creating and analyzing transactional structures that maximize tax efficiency for parties to such transactions.
Complimentary to his transactional tax practice, Chris regularly works with employers and executive groups on their unique executive compensation arrangements including equity arrangements and “profits interest” awards, non-qualified deferred compensation plans, change in control arrangements, and related matters under Sections 280G and 409A. Chris has worked with management teams in connection with executive compensation matters arising in private-equity buyouts and other transactional contexts.
If you have a requirement in this area, please get in touch with Christopher directly, or with the IR Global Head Office for an introduction.
