Kim’s attention to detail, organizational skills and proactive approach to tax planning leaves her clients confident that opportunities are addressed when they should be — well in advance of tax season.

Kim focuses on tax issues primarily relating to the real estate industry, including commercial, industrial, self-storage and multi-family, as well as real estate funds; clients renting telecommunications equipment; and clients structured as partnerships that fall into many other industries. Kim assists clients with complex restructuring transactions, including the purchase/sale of assets and ownership interests, buyouts between owners, issuance of ownership interests and debt restructuring transactions. Other areas of expertise include like-kind exchanges, partnership transactions, exit strategies, disguised sale transactions, waterfall allocations and transactions, and UPREIT and REIT transactions.
