Michael Burwick has nearly 30 years of experience as a tax, corporate and securities lawyer, focusing on tax deferral, mitigation and minimization.

Michael has developed and successfully implemented numerous tax strategies taken directly from heretofore sparsely used sections the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). In employing these strategies, Michael has helped businesses of all sizes, ranging from several million dollars to several hundred million dollars in annual revenue, as well as high-net-worth individuals, families and trusts, navigate the timing and payment of both capital gains and ordinary income taxes. He consistently saves his clients a great deal of money and helps them put capital that would have otherwise been paid in the form of taxes at the time of sale to work for them.

Michael serves clients across many different industry sectors. In the sports, media and entertainment area, he collaborates with professional sports agents and advisors in working with athletes on tax minimization and deferral, often with respect to their outside businesses and investments that were acquired from their career earnings and endorsement income.

With a plethora of clients from the agricultural sector, Michael focuses on harnessing the power of specific provisions in the IRC that provide tremendous, but rarely used, tax benefits. These agricultural subcategories include timber, livestock, fisheries, nurseries and many other businesses that fall within the broad IRC definition of agriculture.

A frequent author and speaker, Michael covers the topics of tax law, sports law and other legal and business issues. As the father of three children, one severely disabled, Michael is an active philanthropist and children’s advocate. He serves on boards of directors and in other philanthropic capacities of organizations devoted to childhood welfare, combatting diseases afflicting children and other causes relating to children’s health and well-being.
