Bio

Sean Cook offers knowledge and versatility in many diverse practice areas, including tax, mergers and acquisitions, closely held businesses and the unique needs of their owners, trusts and estates, as well as general corporate and charity law. He works with companies on a variety of complex tax matters, and also represents both buyers and sellers in mergers and acquisitions, providing due diligence counsel all the way through structuring and closing the sale agreements. He is well versed in the application process for tax-exempt status for startup organizations and has also converted many for-profit organizations to nonprofit status. Sean practiced as a Certified Public Accountant for nearly 9 years and brings his knowledge of the complexities of accounting, auditing, financial statements and tax compliance when solving client issues. While his practice includes working with individuals and organizations in numerous industries, Sean has significant experience representing physicians and physician’s groups, distributorships and staffing companies, as well as clients in the automotive, aerospace and infrastructure industries. He naturally places himself in the client’s shoes and works with a sense of urgency towards favorable outcomes and solutions. “The only thing constant in the tax and estate areas is that there is no constant,” Sean says. “And it is not only legislation and policy itself that ebbs and flows, but the nature and levels of enforcement as well.” Therefore, whether on the federal or state level, he is always monitoring the horizon. He factors in his clients’ goals and levels of risk tolerance, then helps them make the decisions that are right for them at any given time.
