Shareholder Brad Sklar, co-leader of the Tax National practice group, has been named to the Birmingham Business Journal's "Who's Who in Commercial Real Estate" list for the fourth year in a row. Sklar was selected among the top executives and professionals considered movers and shakers in Birmingham's commercial real estate scene.

In his practice, Sklar focuses on complex tax, entity and business planning transactions, including mergers and acquisitions; sales of businesses; sale and purchase structuring and funding of large real estate transactions; raising capital; and navigation of state and local tax incentives. He counsels clients in tax and business planning and entity structuring for development and business structuring. He also coordinates the planning of transactions to maximize tax benefits, reduce risk and comply with tax law at local, state and federal levels, including incentive and economic development opportunities.

Over the years, Sklar and his team have partnered with clients in real estate and/or incentive planning on more than 31 large projects in Birmingham's city center, including Regions Field, Innovation Depot, Alabama School of Fine Arts, the Pizitz Building and the Federal Reserve, to name a few. The team prides itself on understanding the commercial drivers and risks unique to each asset class, as well as navigating the tax and local issues of each location.
