The tax team represented a lumber supply company in the sale of all of its operating assets to a larger competitor. Our client was a family-owned business engaged in the manufacture and sale of structural trusses and other lumber products. The firm began representing the client in 1981, and has assisted the family in general corporate matters over the last 25 years, including transferring the business from father, to mother, to son and daughter, and ultimately to grandson.
It was a complicated transaction for its size. Sally Vonderscher, Tommy Thompson, Kasel Knight and Travis Carter did most of the corporate and tax work on the transaction, David Heaton and Peter Busscher pitched in at the last minute on very short notice on real estate matters, and Jennifer Crane helped with the opinion. All in all, it was a great team effort.
