Arent Fox Counsel, Earl Colson and Partner, Joe Rieser have joined forces with accounting firm Grossberg Company LLP in hosting a program on Tax Loss and Debt Restructuring Planning, taking place at the Hyatt Regency Bethesda on January 29, 2009 from 7:30 - 9:30am. 

The program will cover the following:

• For Real Estate entrepreneurs, significant issues exist when renegotiating debt with third party lenders, related lenders, and workouts with the original sellers of property.
• Taxpayers focused on capital gain planning during the real estate boom. Now it is time to focus on planning to maximize the tax benefit from losses upon the disposition of property.
• For Investors who invested with Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, we will discuss the key planning steps that you must take to protect your tax position related to losses from theft by fraud, including tax return positions that should be asserted, for many taxpayers, no later than April 15th.
• In addition, these difficult times offer the opportunity for estate planning techniques that allow the transfer of wealth at significantly reduced valuations.
