Tax-Efficient Counsel.
Four Decades of Expertise.
Magette Law TET, PLC advises businesses, investors, and their advisors on tax-efficient transactions, from entity formation and design to commercial real estate tax transactions and mergers. Founded by Kurt R. Magette, an attorney with over 40 years of experience, who is also registered as a CPA in Illinois.
Tax law is complicated. The right structure — from the moment you form a business or close a deal — can mean the difference between keeping what you have built or watching taxes erode it.
At Magette Law TET, PLC, Kurt focuses exclusively on tax-efficient transactions. That means we're not generalists. We're specialists in the areas where tax structure has the most impact: tax partnerships (such as LLCs, LPs, and GPs), S corporations, C corporations and other business entities, commercial real estate, M&A, and using business entities for estate and gift planning.
Whether you are a CPA, a fellow attorney, a real estate developer, or a business owner navigating a complex deal — Kurt brings the depth and experience to get it right.
