The State & Local Tax (SALT) practice at Hodgson Russ is renowned for its residency planning experience, having counseled thousands of taxpayers who have departed their home states for friendlier tax climates.
The firm's attorneys bring decades of experience advising clients from multiple jurisdictions, including California, about state and local taxes, from planning and compliance to litigation and damage control. Over the last three decades, our SALT team has completed more than 10,000 state residency audits.
Our attorneys provide legal solutions for accomplishing effective changes in tax residency, even as some clients intend to maintain significant ties to the state they are leaving. And while some attorneys read books and articles on state residency, we write them regularly.
Residents across various states trust Hodgson Russ SALT attorneys in their cross-state or cross-country shifts in tax residency, with an increasing number of clients from California seeking our unique specialty. As residents plan for the California Billionaire Tax Act to take effect, our attorneys are ready to provide strategic insight and actionable plans.
