Anthony J. Madonia & Associates, Ltd. serves privately held businesses and the families they support in the Chicagoland area. Our clients represent a variety of industries, and we help them with a broad spectrum of issues – Providing the Right Direction.
Corporate Law
From business structure, shareholder agreements, and legal compliance to real estate transactions and ongoing representation and litigation, having legal counsel and guidance is imperative in protecting your interests. Our attorneys work closely with clients to evaluate the situation, look at all options, and determine the solution that will provide the best outcome.
We strive to resolve issues through discussion, negotiation, and documentation. When issues escalate and require further action, our attention to detail provides you with solid representation and litigation services.
Estate Planning
With the turmoil surrounding estate taxation, a solid estate plan minimizes tax obligations and allows your assets to be protected and your directives to be followed. When done correctly, planning for the future sets the stage for smooth transitions with minimal disruption, especially those during difficult times.
Today, many tools are available that support various life stages, as well as planning for the unexpected:
- Irrevocable and Revocable Trusts
- Foundations and Charitable Giving
- Advance Directives and Guardianship
- Long-term Care Planning
|
- Wills
- Asset Protection and Security
- Trustee Services – Oversight, Administration, and Management
|
Our Estate Planning process takes a step-by-step approach: outlining your goals and objectives and evaluating all possible circumstances to provide a plan that maximizes your interests and safeguards your legacy.
Given the uncertainty with tax laws, everyone needs a plan. Our Estate Planning services give you the confidence and peace of mind that your interests are secure.
Family Office
Multi-generational families supported by the family trust or foundation have unique needs and circumstances. Different family member talents, skills, and interests can chart paths for collaboration and competition. An unbiased, third-party administrator looking after the best interests of the family can be invaluable in long-term planning, asset review and protection, foundation formation, tax compliance, accounting, and distributions.
Our Family Office services range from initial formation to multi-generational planning. In fact, we often become the hub. We become your “go to” resource for professional services and referrals. We participate in acquisition evaluations. We serve as adviser on how best to use individual and collective skills and talents in giving-back. In short, our Family Office Services support the Family with whatever you need, whenever you need it.
Taxation
The constant changes in tax laws most certainly affect privately-held businesses and their respective families. At risk is the wealth that you painstakingly acquired through hard work and dedication. Preserving your wealth and planning for your continued success requires a strategy and vigilance. At Anthony J. Madonia & Associates, Ltd., we not only have a keen awareness and understanding of the law, but also have background in tax and accounting. In fact, several of our attorneys are also Certified Public Accountants. We use these dual areas of knowledge to provide you with a single resource to follow you through the entire business taxation cycle from strategy and planning to tax return preparation and through IRS representation, if needed.
We understand what strategies need to be implemented in order to avoid unnecessary taxes. We are aggressive in our approach and honest in our recording. We serve the best interests of our clients within the framework of compliance and regulations – Providing the Right Direction. |
