It is not just his extensive knowledge of—and proven proficiency in handling—a wide variety of corporate, transactional and business matters, although Jim Dattaro regularly advises clients on a multitude of business and tax planning opportunities and pitfalls when using “pass through” entities (i.e., partnerships, limited liability companies and “S” corporations). He also provides the same expertise in implementing “non-qualified” compensation plans and Section 409A compliant deferred compensation for use in retaining and incentivizing key employees, and structuring “like-kind” exchanges in order to leverage substantial gains from sales of commercial real estate. A magna cum laude Finance & Economics graduate of the State University of New York at Albany, Jim went on to earn his J.D. at the George Washington University Law School. He is admitted to practice in, and belongs to the State Bar Associations of, Maryland and Connecticut, is a former member of the MSBA Tax Section Council, and is licensed to practice before the United States Tax Court.
