Highly Qualified Texas Business and Tax Litigation Lawyer
John McDuff · Serving Businesses in Austin and Throughout Central Texas
I thrive on challenging cases in business law and tax law. I have been called upon to litigate matters with millions of dollars at stake, to engineer transactions involving tens of millions, and to get clients out of tax jams that also involve millions.
The quality of my work is well recognized by my clients, and I have received the AV rating* under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review rating system. Call me at 512.457.1177 or email my law offices to schedule an appointment.
Service Second to None
My business clients appreciate the direct access to personalized legal advice that our one-on-one attorney-client relationship offers. As a sole practitioner, I am fully invested in my clients' pursuit of workable solutions to perplexing legal problems.
I personally handle your legal matter and take your calls, unless I am in a meeting, on the phone, or asleep. I respond to your e-mails, when I receive your e-mails, on the same basis. I am willing to work for you, 24/7/365.
I have limited my practice by choice to business and taxation law for 30 years. As a lawyer who serves a select group of clients in Austin and Central Texas, on cases both large and small, I can deliver creative legal solutions for the following types of cases:
- Business Litigation: Insight and strength for contract disputes, internal control disputes, corporate litigation, business divorces, investment fraud, shareholder litigation, derivative actions, commercial collections, insurance coverage disputes, commercial lease disputes and allegations of fraudulent conveyances.
- Controversial Litigation: Addressing high-profile and often overlapping allegations of fraud, conspiracy, tortious interference, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition, and business torts.
- Business Transactions: Astute counsel on buying or selling a business, establishing LLCs, S corporations and limited partnerships; financing growth or entering into contracts.
- Tax Litigation: Seasoned representation for countering the IRS in tax litigation, including management of response to audits, making appeals of audits, and defense against allegations of tax fraud, and failure to file tax returns, as well as law suits in tax court or district court.
- Tax Collection: Representation for settling tax debts, abating IRS penalties, making effective offers in compromise, working out favorable IRS installment plans, releasing levies and wage garnishments, and developing other strategies for mitigating loss in the face of tax disputes.
