Overview
The Taylor English ESOP team advises corporations, trustees, directors and shareholders in the use of ESOPs in ownership succession transactions, ESOP company sales, and mergers and acquisitions. Our team of corporate, tax, ERISA and employment attorneys counsels clients on all aspects of ESOP planning and implementation.
