They represent multi-state corporate clients, including Discount Tire, Ford Motor Company, General Motors and Masco Corporation, in national, state and local tax matters. "We are enthused about the addition of these highly talented attorneys to our growing Ann Arbor office," said Gregory L. Curtner, coordinating partner of Schiff Hardin's Ann Arbor office. "This group brings extensive knowledge and wide-ranging experience in state and local tax matters. Joanne, Sam, Sarah and Jackie provide us with an exciting new dimension to serve both our local and national clients." Schiff Hardin's new team of attorneys is experienced in tax planning, counseling and litigation in all state and local tax areas. Faycurry has more than 25 years of experience in a wide range of state and local taxation matters. Her state tax practice focuses on controversy and litigation work as well as state tax planning with respect to all state-levied taxes. McKim's extensive tax practice extends throughout more than 45 years and includes all aspects of state and local taxation. He counsels clients and assists them with tax planning, opinion work, and trial and appellate appeals. McKim is particularly interested in cases involving state and local tax issues of first impression, as well as cases involving complex legal and factual issues. Deson-Fried has extensive experience practicing transactional real estate law on a national basis. She has represented a wide variety of clients, including buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, borrowers, lenders, developers, franchisors and franchisees in connection with office, industrial, retail, residential and multi-family real estate matters.
