Background

About Samuel Hurwitz

I am a member of Brenner, Saltzman & Wallman's (BSW) Tax Practice Group. My practice focuses on a broad range of business and personal tax issues, from structuring the initial operations of start-up enterprises to advising mature business enterprises on major tax matters. I counsel clients in the area of partnership income taxation and draft complex partnership, joint venture and operating agreements. A substantial part of my practice is devoted to the tax aspects of acquisitions and dispositions of business entities, including taxable and tax-deferred transaction structures. I also design and analyze sophisticated estate planning strategies for individual clients. In addition, I advise and represent clients involved in controversies with the Internal Revenue Service and the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services. I joined BSW in 1983 and became a principal in 1990. I received my B.A.(1976) magna cum laude from Columbia University, where I was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. I received my J.D.(1983) from Stanford Law School, where I was elected to the Order of the Coif. I am a member of the Connecticut bar and is admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court.
