Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp

PRACTICE: Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp’s five-partner tax practice provides excellent support to the firm’s principal client following of privately-held companies, not-for-profit institutions and high-net-worth individuals and families. The firm’s strong employment law practice has stimulated a significant tax expertise in employment-related issues such as categorization. The practice strength in individual and estate tax planning is also very well developed. Members of the practice accept both state and federal tax instructions of all types.

Recent instructions include structuring tax-exempt bond financing for the purchase and development of a new college campus, and
representation of several clients in disputes over the categorization of workers as employees or independent contractors.

CLIENTS: Clients include Amnesty International, California Community Foundation, California Institute of Technology, Greenpeace, Huntington Library, University of Southern California and World Vision.

INDIVIDUALS: Los Angeles-based David Newman, an expert in a state and individual tax planning, heads the practice. Also in Los Angeles Jeffrey Davine, who served as an attorney with the IRS, has handled a wide range of instructions including employee-related federal and state disputes.

    1 What are the main statutes and regulations relating to employment? The main statutes relating to employment are the Portuguese Employment Code (approved by Law 7/2009 of 12 February 2009) and the Regulation of the Employment Code (Law 35/2004 of 29 July 2004) which is still in force notwithstanding the fact that parts have been revoked with the entry into force of the new Employment Code. Within the Employment Code, the vast majority of the rules are mandatory and, therefore, can only be modified by agreement of the parties and only if such amendment is intended to improve the position or rights of the employees.
