Represented regional accounting firm in claims of negligence and misrepresentation arising from an audit of a business. The business used the audit, which indicated that the business was a “going concern,” to renegotiate its lease obligations with its landlord. The business’s financial situation was worse than that which was indicated on the audit, and the landlord sued the accountancy firm. The matter settled favorably for the firm.

Represented couple with significant off-shore assets in claims against their accountants arising from the improper determination of taxes on repatriated assets. Negotiated a resolution involving amended returns, indemnity and a lengthy tolling agreement to ensure that our clients did not have additional tax liabilities, and if they did, that their claims against their former accountants would still be ripe. At the same time, we avoided costly litigation of the matters.
