Bio

Vaughn Ramsey provides his clients with over thirty years of legal experience in business representation with a focus on taxation. This experience allows Vaughn to provide insights into matters that not every lawyer would recognize. He advises clients on taxable and non-taxable business sales and acquisitions, entity formation, private placements, joint ventures, general contract matters, and other related transactions, as well as taxpayer disputes with the Internal Revenue Service and the North Carolina Department of Revenue. While he takes his work very seriously, Vaughn does like to have fun on the job when possible. In addition to his legal knowledge and dependable work, Vaughn’s clients appreciate his responsiveness, willingness to lend a hand professionally and personally, his dry sense-of-humor, and his willingness to refer a matter elsewhere if it falls outside the firm’s expertise. Vaughn is a frequent speaker on state and federal tax issues, and has been recognized by Best Lawyers in America, NC SuperLawyers, NC Legal Elite, has been awarded the NC CPA Association 5.0 Speaker Award, and is a former member of the board of the J.
