Moore, Costello & Hart, P.L.L.P. is a recognized leader in serving as corporate counsel and tax advisor to Minnesota closely held business entities.  Many corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships and other business clients depend on us to provide reviews and advice on tax and operational matters, including: 

  • Organizing
  • Acquisitions and Mergers
  • Contract negotiation and preparation
  • Financing
  • General business legal matters
  • Employee relations

One of our many strengths is assisting families with closely-held businesses.  Through careful estate and business succession planning, the attorneys at Moore, Costello, & Hart, P.L.L.P. have successfully guided the transfer of business enterprises through several generations, dating back to the 1800s.  We are familiar with the legal requirements to reduce substantial tax burdens faced by many family businesses when the founder retires or dies.  We can help clients reduce or eliminate the costs and taxes incurred when wealth passes from one generation to the next, and we can help assure that the personal wishes are met.
