DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
THIS WEB SITE AND ITS CONTENTS (INCLUDING THE MATERIALS) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
DISCLAIMER OF TAX ADVICE
Nothing on this website, nor in any email or other communication from me, is ever intended to be tax advice of any kind. I know almost nothing of tax law. There may well be tax consequences to many of the transactions that are the subject of, or that result from, my litigation practice for my clients, but if so, I have only the vaguest of notions as to what those consequences are or might be. My clients must not expect me to advise or represent them with respect to those tax consequences, and they instead ought to seek tax advice directly from other qualified, independent professionals. (On request, I can refer clients to such professionals.) I do not, and never want to, “practice before the Internal Revenue Service” as that term is defined in section 10.2(a)(4) of Treasury Department Circular No. 230, 31 C.F.R. part 10. My practice does not include “preparing and filing documents, corresponding and communicating with the Internal Revenue Service, rendering written advice with respect to any entity, transaction, plan or arrangement, or other plan or arrangement having a potential for tax avoidance or evasion, and representing a client at conferences, hearings and meetings.” Nothing in any oral or written communication from me (including any attachments) has been intended or written to be used, and nothing may be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding tax-related penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any tax-related matters.
Attorney Andrew Weisblatt
Mr. Weisblatt has practiced continuously since becoming licensed in 1992 and has represented businesses ranging in size from one person start-up ventures to multi-national corporations employing hundreds of people in multiple countries. From 2005 through 2009 Mr. Weisblatt was in-house counsel and chief operating officer of a multi-national corporation in the steel products industry. That in-house position provided valuable insight into how businesses work and what they actually need from their lawyers – both in-house and outside counsel. Attorney Bio
