J. Legamaro is a partner in Morgan Lewis's Tax Practice. Mr.
Legamaro's practice involves a range of tax and planning-oriented
areas, principally for private wealth, including mergers and
acquisitions, domestic and international tax and business planning,
and foreign and domestic estate planning.
Mr. Legamaro assists public and private foreign and domestic
corporations, partnerships, real estate investment trusts (REITs),
and wealthy and entrepreneurial individuals and trusts in the
analysis, structuring, and negotiation of corporate and real estate
transactions, leveraged buyouts, reorganizations, debt
restructurings, consolidations, and similar transactions, as well as
planning for the creation, preservation, and transmission of wealth
among generations. He also has a significant background in tax and
business strategies and other acquisition/disposition transactions
for real estate portfolios, owners, and developers, including
multibillion-dollar REITs and real estate partnerships.
Mr. Legamaro also provides international income, capital, estate,
inheritance, and gift-planning solutions to high-net-worth clients
and families with assets outside of the country of their permanent
residence. In that regard, he provides individually tailored
solutions to the problems faced by international high-net-worth
clients, whether clients are based in the United States, Europe,
Latin America, or elsewhere. Mr. Legamaro frequently works with
foreign attorneys and family advisors to assist in the formulation
of an international strategy or the implementation of an
international solution. These solutions involve the coordination of
cross-border income, inheritance, and estate duties, and address
concerns regarding the location of the client's assets or their
family members. In each case, he works closely with banking
relationship managers, financial planners, and attorneys to tailor
solutions for a client's individual needs.
Prior to joining Morgan Lewis, Mr. Legamaro was a partner in the
taxation practice of an international law firm.
