Bio

Michael Wenig, a licensed CPA, brings more than three decades of legal experience to the table. He focuses his practice in corporate, limited liability company, and partnership law, business acquisitions and sales, affordable housing development, and state and federal tax planning and representation. He has extensive experience representing individual and corporate taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service, state revenue departments, and in various courts. Mike acts as more than an attorney for his clients, but also as a counselor at law. He not only advises his clients about what a contract says or what a statute provides, but also counsels them on their rights and options and provides creative ways to resolve problems and address opportunities. His clients appreciate his ability to communicate complex issues in an understandable and concise manner, and he finds the challenge of asking “why” and “what if” to come up with innovative resolutions to these issues rewarding. He remains active in the Tax Section of the North Carolina State Bar and, as a prior Chair, continues to be an active and engaged member of the Tax Council. In addition, he is on the Tax Committee for the NCACPA, serves as the liaison to the IRS for the Association, and is a member of a small group that focuses on legislative issues. A frequent speaker, Mike has twice received the best annual speaker awards from the North Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants for presenting tax issues at NCACPA programs. He has also authored materials and presented seminars on numerous business and tax topics, including choice of entity, multi-state business operations, limited liability and partnership taxation, family limited partnerships, Subchapter S corporation taxation, and state sales and use tax.
