Overview

The complexity of our tax laws, both domestic and international, requires lawyers who advise clients to have substantial, up-to-date knowledge and in-depth experience on a broad range of tax matters. The quality of the legal tax advice that a client receives is critically important to the client’s ability to make sound business decisions and to have effective representation before the Internal Revenue Service. Mr. August is frequently asked to serve as counsel to the clients of other law and accounting firms. In every case, his mission is to ensure that his clients are carefully advised in tax planning or tax controversy matters in protecting their economic, personal, and legal interests.

Many tax lawyers and accountants regard Mr. August as “the tax lawyer’s tax lawyer,” based on his extensive knowledge and experience in federal taxation, both domestic and international, and in tax controversies and litigation. He is frequently called in to render legal advice on complex and high-level tax issues and related matters, including corporate and partnership laws, to privately and publicly owned business organizations, their owners, and their investors. For over forty-seven years, other lawyers, accountants, and financial advisors in Philadelphia, New York and South Florida have turned to him for advice. While he actively focuses his practice in these three geographies, he is often referred matters from throughout the United States and overseas.
