There is no escape when it comes to taxes. Everyone is affected - individuals and businesses alike. Taxes play a significant role, whether you are forming a business, setting up a 401(k) or pension plan for your employees, contemplating a merger or an acquisition, facing reorganization or a liquidation, or merely preparing an operating agreement. When taxes complicate your life, there is no substitute for the trusted advice of an experienced tax attorney.

At Bassey and Selesko PLC, we focus our practice on business and tax-related legal matters, including the estate planning, tax and business needs of individuals. Taking the “big picture” approach, our attorneys, several of whom are also Certified Public Accountants, have helped our clients maneuver the complexities of business and tax law since 1966. With an average of more than 25 years of experience each, our attorneys leverage their knowledge as they evaluate all facets of your situation – business and estate planning, tax compliance, benefits and retirement planning or divorce – to develop a comprehensive strategy for you.

Whether you are facing a tax audit or a business dispute, or just need legal advice concerning business transactions ranging from real estate contracts or buy-sell agreements to business creation or succession planning, our firm has the legal expertise to guide you. We also provide legal services related to family law and associated business transactions. In complex divorces, our attorneys are prepared to properly address the value of business and financial assets, including closely held businesses, real estate holdings, pensions, stock portfolios and mutual funds, to ensure an equitable settlement.

The law firm of Bassey and Selesko takes pride in offering our clients individualized attention, and our attorneys, often working as a team, utilize their creativity and know-how to devise a custom solution for each client’s needs.

Our attorneys negotiate, structure and plan business transactions integrating a tax strategy to minimize the tax bite and to maximize your return. Our unique credentials as attorneys and accountants enable us to develop solutions which less experienced attorneys might not consider, often saving our clients thousands of dollars. We believe value isn’t measured only by the bill you receive - sometimes value lies in the bills you don’t receive. We believe that our knowledge and experience leads to better results and frequently to reduced total costs as well.

Whatever your individual or business situation, the attorneys at Bassey and Selesko are committed to ensuring that the tax implications of all your personal and business transactions are fully considered and that you receive both value and excellence in legal services.
