- ‘Nicola Lemay and Chasse Osborn who we work closely have demonstrated very exceptional technical tax knowledge as well as great communication skills. Their ability to explain complex tax issues into practical applications and situations to non-tax management and executives is impressive. It is very rare to have tax lawyers who are technically sound but can also give practical and sound advice. We are very pleased with Nicola and Chasse’s tax advice and guidance. They have helped us from start to finish in our tax discussion matters, from identifying issues, providing great and workable options that are suitable to our situations, and drafting the necessary language. A very efficient, seamless and effective service. They have been truly our trusted advisors!’
- ‘The Hogan tax team does a great job advising us on tax matters related to M&A transactions. They are very responsive, technical and creative when it comes to challenging tax issues. They have a great sense for what terms are "market" and regularly suggest places where we can deviate from "market". ’
