Austin Commercial Litigation Lawyer

Experienced Representation for Sophisticated Problems

The law office of John McDuff in Austin, Texas can handle your case. I say that with confidence because I have practiced law in the areas of business litigation, business law and taxation for over 30 years. My clients have well recognized the quality of my work, and I have received the AV rating* in Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review rating system.

While clients usually have overlapping needs, I break my practice down into the categories listed below.

Business Litigation: Plaintiff or defense representation, from breach of contract to complex litigation, including disputes among business owners/partners and lawsuits on behalf of investors.

Legal issues in business litigation include contract disputes, corporate litigation, investment litigation, control disputes, business divorces, investment fraud, shareholder litigation, derivative actions, insurance coverage disputes and fraudulent conveyance cases.

Business Transactions: Foresight and attention to detail to protect client interests in commercial transactions, contractual matters and funding of business ventures.

Business transactions deal with business contracts, limited liability companies, S corporations, limited partnerships, complex business startups, buying or selling a business, asset purchases, venture capital investments, financing, shareholder agreements and covenants not to compete.

Tax Litigation: As a tax litigation attorney and CPA, I have handled almost all types of litigation matters, including IRS audits, tax appeals, tax court suits, district court suits, failure to file tax returns, tax fraud, and sales tax disputes.

Tax Collection: Using my experience as a tax lawyer, I help my clients face challenges such as IRS penalties and abatement, offers in compromise, IRS installment plans, levies, wage garnishment and payroll tax disputes.
