Additionally, Cindy guides clients through various tax matters concerning partnerships, FIRPTA, treaty benefits, consolidated groups, net operating losses, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, and corporate inversions.
Licensed to practice law in Ontario, New York, New Jersey, and Missouri, Cindy works closely with numerous Canadian and U.S. clients, including private equity firms, pension funds, and corporations across various industries. She conducts tax due diligence, assists with tax modeling, and develops tax-efficient structures that align with requirements of multiple jurisdictions while also accommodating business considerations.
