Governmental Institutions and Agencies

The Tax Department represents governmental agencies, public pension funds and other exempt organizations in its capacity as tax counsel, advising them on reporting, intergovernmental immunity, essential governmental services, unrelated trade or business income, treaty qualification and other federal tax issues related to the structuring of investments and operations.

We also advise public pension funds on structuring joint ventures and investment partnerships to maximize the funds' positions for continued qualification under Section 115 of the Internal Revenue Code. We have worked with public pension funds to negotiate caps on capital call obligations and advised public pension funds on matters relating to compliance with state-level investment restrictions.
