(310) 421-0011 WWW.ATHEALAW.COM Changing herstory, one verdict at a time. Inspiring women trial lawyers to find creative ways to bring their clients’ stories to life and achieve justice to make the world a safer place. SETTING A HIGHER BAR (310) 300-1080 WWW.CHANGKLEIN.COM We elevate our cases into causes.

The motto appearing on the California State Seal is the Greek word, Eureka, which means, “I have found it!” These famous words were attributed to the ancient Greek scientist, Archimedes. This motto also appropriately applies to the formation of one of the most prestigious national plaintiffs’ firms to emerge from the state, Athea Trial Lawyers.

Founders Charla Aldous, Randi McGinn, Bibi Fell, Lisa Blue, Zoe Littlepage and Deborah Chang are all leaders of their respective firms. But in 2022, through their mutual respect, realized combining their talents would provide injured victims and their families an opportunity to find the best trial advocates. Headquartered in Southern California, Athea Trial Lawyers has emerged as a prominent force in the legal landscape, as evidenced by being ranked Tier 1 in Los Angeles for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs by Best Law Firms® annually since its inception.

“Our namesake is the Greek goddess Athea, who demonstrated how to heal after igniting the warrior within,” says Chang, who was named the 2022 “Lawyer of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs in Los Angeles by The Best Lawyers in America®. “This inspires our very being as courtroom fighters, whose constant goal is to help our clients recover physically and emotionally.”

“Every client should be treated with dignity,” says Fell, “and our results uncover recklessness trends in healthcare systems that need to stop. The impact of our advocacy should be received at every level of an organization – especially at the top.”

Warriors. Healers. Advocates.

Through their impactful results, Athea Trial Lawyers continually strengthens the plaintiffs’ bar in California and nationwide. Following a landmark verdict for the family of an internationally renowned women’s rights leader, the firm looks to upcoming civil litigation trials to secure results aimed at improving safety for Californians.

“These varied cases are all reflective of behavioral patterns and systemic problems in California that are harming and killing people,” notes Blue. “Our advocacy will hopefully stop these avoidable incidents and prevent future harm to others.”

Honoring A Legacy In The Courtroom

Athea Trial Lawyers pooled their legal knowledge and courtroom skills in federal court in 2022, securing a favorable verdict on behalf of the husband and family of Esther Nakajjigo, Uganda’s Ambassador for Women and Girls. Nakajjigo was accidentally killed by a loose security gate while exiting Arches National Park in Utah in June 2020. Over a five-day trial in December 2022, McGinn, Chang and Littlepage secured a $10.5 million verdict allocated to Nakajjigo’s family – the largest wrongful death verdict issued by a federal court judge in the history of Utah.

“It was a privilege to serve as a representative for the family of an activist whose remarkable endeavors enhanced the wellbeing of countless women and teenage girls in her home country,” McGinn says. “Detailing her life to the judge and jury was a poignant reminder of the profound impact one person’s commitment to a cause can have on society.”

“Our ability to tell Esther’s story resonated with the entire courtroom,” Littlepage adds, “as evidenced by the U.S. government admitting fault and apologizing for the tragedy and as per Judge Bruce Jenkins’ considerate decision.”

Establishing A Reputation For Inspiration in California

Athea Trial Lawyers accepts meritorious cases

that have the potential to create change through their extraordinary results. But the progress does not stop in the courtroom.

Founders Aldous* and McGinn** have also been named “Lawyer of the Year” several times by The Best Lawyers in America® in various practice areas since 2009. Fell, Blue and Littlepage have also been praised by legal media for securing precedent-setting, ninefigure resolutions and their leadership positions in the legal community.

Athea Trial Lawyers’ reputation as a Best Law Firm is further solidified by its contributions to California’s legal and professional communities. Its founders are all members of prestigious legal organizations. In their roles as members and leaders, they have spearheaded efforts to empower women and strengthen diversity initiatives in organizations such as the Consumer Attorneys of California, Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Alliance of Women Trial Lawyers, American Association for Justice and the American Board of Trial Advocates.

There is one olive for each partner. The olive branch can grow and thrive in even the harshest climates and conditions. Our firm arose during the pandemic, so it is a fitting symbol. Through their mentorship and collaborations, they aim to fulfill a key mission of promoting and advancing women in courtrooms.

“We believe that by bringing more women into the profession – in every role, from paralegals to judges – California’s court system, and society at large, will benefit from our unique ability to find and deliver justice and fairness,” Aldous says. “Our mission harkens back to balancing the warrior and healer traits of Athea. It is a challenge, but extremely gratifying.”

*Charla Aldous is a founder of Athea Trial Lawyers and a partner of the Dallas-based law firm of Aldous \ Walker LLP. She was recognized by Best Lawyers® as “Lawyer of the Year” in Dallas/ Fort Worth, TX for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs in 2009, 2017 and 2019 and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in 2013, 2016, 2018, 2021 and 2024.

**Randi McGinn is a founder of Athea Trial Lawyers and a partner with the New Mexico firm of McGinn, Montoya, Love & Curry, PA. She was recognized by Best Lawyers® as “Lawyer of the Year” in Albuquerque, NM for Criminal Defense: General Practice in 2011, Criminal Defense: White-Collar in 2013, Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs in 2014 and 2019 and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in 2015.

The Best Law Firms®

methodology remains consistent and unchanged since we began awarding law firms in 2010.

Eligibility

A firm must have at least one lawyer recognized in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in America ® in a Best Law Firms practice area and geographic jurisdiction to become eligible for a Best Law Firms award.

Submission Process

As part of our formal research process, submission packets are emailed to firms every January. This includes:

• Your firm’s list of eligible awards

• Law Firm Survey

• Client/Professional Reference Submission

Research Components

Your firm’s work in a particular area is assessed through analyzing:

• Feedback provided by your clients/professional references.

◦ Clients/professional references are emailed a survey addressing a firm’s expertise, responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, costeffectiveness, civility and whether they would refer another client to the firm.

◦ Reference submissions are always kept strictly confidential and are never shared or published elsewhere.

• Firmographic information supplied by the firm.

• Lawyer evaluations collected during the Best Lawyers® research process.

◦ Data collected from Best Lawyers ballots, which can only be completed by lawyers who are currently recognized by Best Lawyers.

• Industry leader interviews

◦ Managing Partners and practice group leaders are invited to provide their assessments of the legal landscape.

Ranking by Tiers

The quantitative and qualitative data is combined into an overall Best Law Firms score for each firm. Because firms were often separated by small differences in overall score, we use a tiering system rather than ranking law firms sequentially.

The number of tiers awarded in each practice area and metropolitan area varies, and some specialties may not be ranked in jurisdictions where there is not enough data to create competitive analysis.

Awards and Award Notification

Firms are confidentially notified of their rankings by email in late July. Awards are always tied to a specific area of law and are segmented as follows:

• Metro Tiers 1-3

• National Tiers 1-3

• “Law Firm of the Year”*

*Only one law firm is named the “Law Firm of the Year” in a particular practice area.

Public Release

Rankings are released to the public on bestlawfirms.com in early November of each year.

The Business Climate in California is Golden

The Tax Foundation’s 2024 State Business Tax Climate Index ranks California 48th among U.S. states, yet the Business Finance Council highlights its strides in both innovation and technology. Despite high tax rates, California’s robust economy and infrastructure support thriving small businesses and legal communities.

THE TAX FOUNDATION 2024 STATE BUSINESS TAX CLIMATE INDEX

The Tax Foundation 2024 State Business Tax Climate Index lists California as 48th among all states, ahead of New Jersey and New York. However, the Business Finance Council (BFC) notes that California ranks number one in innovation and technology. 99.8% of California businesses are small businesses, employing 48.8% of the California population. The BFC points to the following five reasons for California’s business-friendly environment:

1. A large population of 40,223,504, making California the most populous state.

2. Diverse customer or client base

3. Access to a vast professional network provides greater access to lawyers, accountants and other professionals.

4. A robust economy, California’s GDP is proliferating, and it is poised to pass Germany and become the fourth-largest economy globally after only the United States, China and Japan.

5. Robust infrastructure supporting the highest level of imports compared to other states

I cannot speak to the statistics, but our experience is that the California economy is very robust, with a high level of business mergers and acquisitions without regard to interest rate changes or high tax rates. We are increasingly busy with business sales and acquisitions and related tax planning.

TAX PLANNING STRATEGIES FOR BUSINESS OWNERS INSTALLMENT SALE STRATEGIES

We help successful families and business owners minimize income and estate tax, better protect assets and transition client legacies and family values to the next generation. Our goal is to make a transformational change that improves the lives of our client’s families. We recently obtained a $2.75 million reduction in estate tax with a supplemental estate tax for a farm family, enabling them to pay the remaining tax over 10 years. This enabled that family to continue farming into the next generation and beyond.

Business owners often work a lifetime or sometimes for multiple generations to develop a family business representing the family’s most valuable asset. The income

The Goralka Law Firm • goralkalawfirm.com INSIGHT 10 BEST LAW FIRMS ® 2024 CALIFORNIA EDITION

is frequently compressed into a year when the company is sold, triggering the highest federal tax brackets. The highest federal tax bracket for capital gains is 20%, and for ordinary income is 37%. The highest tax rate for California is now 14.4%. The combined rate for ordinary income is 51.4%, and for capital gains is 34.4%. One-third or more of the business value is lost in taxes.

One way to receive some relief is to use an installment sale to spread income to future years and obtain a lower tax bracket in later years. Note that Internal Revenue Code Section 453A puts a $5 million per person limit on installment sales. Some assets, such as publicly treated stocks or securities, do not qualify for installment sale treatment.

There are at least a dozen ways to reduce, defer or eliminate tax on capital gains or the sale of appreciated assets. Many prospective clients call to say they have sold their business or building and would like to minimize the related tax. However, the best, most attractive planning is done before the sale is closed or negotiated. Ideally, a client should

begin planning in 2024 for a sale to close in 2026. This timing allows the most attractive planning.

THE TWO-YEAR INSTALLMENT SALES STRATEGY

One such alternative is the TwoYear Installment Sale. Here’s how it works: You can sell the asset to your children or a separate trust (sometimes called the “deferred sale trust”) on a long-term installment sale. That way, your children or other beneficiaries can receive the total value and enjoyment of the property before the gain is recognized and subject to taxation. After a two-year waiting period, even the tax on the $1 million dollar can be minimized, and the property can be sold to a third-party buyer for cash. The children’s trust receives the sale proceeds in cash, whereas the parent is deferring the tax for as much as 20 years.

EXAMPLE SCENARIO:

For example, let’s say you own Blackacre, a parcel of land you originally purchased for $200,000. Today, it has a fair market value of $10 million. You want it to benefit your children, so you sell Blackacre to your kid’s deferred

“The California economy is very robust, with a high level of business mergers and acquisitions without regard to interest rate changes or high tax rates  ”
GENERATED WITH ADOBE FIREFLY
bestlawfirms.com 11

sale trust for $10 million to be paid over 20 years. The IRS requires a two-year gap between a related party installment sale and a second sale of the same asset. So, two years and one day later, we sold Blackacre to a third party for $11 million, paid in cash at closing. The deferred sale trust recognizes a gain on the sale tax over 20 years. Yet the family receives the entire $11 million of value while paying tax only on the $1 million gain. Yes, the trust will continue to pay off the note over the next 20 years. You recognize any gains and pay the taxes over the 20 years. However, this provides a significant time difference during which you invest the funds and receive the income and appreciation. Plus, you can also reduce your taxable income and pay taxes from a lower tax bracket in future years with additional planning.

BENEFITS OF THE TWO-YEAR INSTALLMENT SALE STRATEGY

This strategy is beneficial because the gain is taxed at a reduced rate as a long-term capital gain instead of a short-term one, which would

be taxed as ordinary income. Your beneficiaries will still receive all the cash proceeds in the year of the second sale. Also, this strategy provides an opportunity for a far greater overall return. If you invest the funds you have otherwise paid in taxes in the year of the original sale, you earn 6% or more each year on that amount. The next best time for a client to reach out is in 2024 for a sale that will close later in 2024 or 2025. This timing permits a discussion of structures to use before the sale to mitigate the tax bite and additional steps to take after the sale to reduce the tax cost further.

TIMING AND STRUCTURE OF TAX PLANNING

The most attractive planning is done before the existence of a binding obligation to purchase and sell. Note that there are both charitable and noncharitable structures that can be used before the binding obligation. For a charitable structure, a portion of the assets sold may be transferred to the charitable trust or entity. A portion of the sale may not be taxable depending on the type of

charitable structure. For example, a Charitable Remainder Trust or a Split Interest Charitable Income Trust would not be subject to tax. A Charitable Contribution Deduction is generated to offset income tax on the remaining sale proceeds, which go directly to the client. A grantor Charitable Lead Trust (CLT) would not provide a nontaxable portion of the sale. Still, a CLT often provides a dollar-for-dollar income tax deduction for amounts contributed to the CLT. The key to any such structure is the economic benefits flowing to the family.

CASE STUDY: HOENSHEID V. COMMISSIONER

Note that the timing for this type of planning is critical. In Hoensheid v. Commissioner TC Memo 2023-34, the tax court found that implementing a plan two days before a binding agreement between the Buyer and Seller was too late. This was an illegal assignment of income. The tax benefits from some otherwise traditional and well-respected planning were lost. The lesson is not to wait too long and ensure

INSIGHT 12 BEST LAW FIRMS ® 2024 CALIFORNIA EDITION

significant deal points for sale are still being negotiated after the planning and related title transfers and entity formation are completed.

SUBCHAPTER S STOCK SALE PLANNING

Tax planning for a Subchapter S stock sale can be challenging. This is because of the substantial restrictions on who can be a qualified Subchapter S shareholder, which is generally limited to individuals and very restrictive trusts (the Qualified Subchapter S Trust (QSST) or Elective Small Business Trust (ESBT). Neither the QSST nor the ESBT is conducive to minimizing tax on selling S Corporation stock.

Under the right circumstances, goodwill for a business conducted by a corporation can be owned individually by the business founder or developer. If so, this personal goodwill can be transferred to a charitable structure to generate substantial tax savings and economic benefits for the seller and their family. This is done without the restriction of who can own S

corporation stock.

First, property rights for income tax purposes are determined under state law. Most states recognize some form of personal goodwill. Much of the case law establishing personal goodwill arose in divorce proceedings, where a soon-to-be exspouse sought compensation for or to share in this often-precious asset.

The recent sale of a business for $6 million resulted in tax savings of over $1.4 million. This was done by contributing personal goodwill to a lifetime income charitable pooled trust before the sale. In addition, the seller could invest and receive income for the life of the amount contributed to a split-interest charitable income fund.

This provided a very substantial benefit for the family as follows:

This lifetime income charitable pooled trust can substantially increase a family’s wealth over simply paying the tax. If we paid the tax, the family would net $2.25 million after paying federal and state (estimated) tax of 25%, or $750,000. If invested at 7%, that would provide an income of $157,000 per year. That offers a

value of $1,668,557. Adding to the $2.25 million resulted in a total increase in wealth at $3,918,557. If we avoid taxing that same $3 million, we save tax of $750,000 and invest the entire $3 million to receive a safe, predictable income of $210,000 every year. If invested for 20 years, That equals a value of $8,609,053. The preset value of that is $2,224,743. When added to the $3 million net proceeds from the sale, that provides a preset value of $5,224,743. This is an increase in wealth of over 33%.

In addition, the client received an income tax deduction of $2,202,641 to avoid tax on other income. The total tax savings was $1,564,977, representing the tax savings from the deduction and the charitable portion of the sale not subject to tax. This substantially benefits the family, particularly when added to the investment income described above.

These are just a few lesser-known techniques to minimize tax on the sale of capital assets. As indicated above, our experience is that the California business climate is healthy and robust. •

IS GOOD FAITH GOOD ENOUGH? THE CURRENT STATE OF CALIFORNIA’S EMPLOYMENT LANDSCAPE

LONG TOUTED AS AN EMPLOYEE-FRIENDLY STATE

with legislation to back it, California employers are all too accustomed with how difficult it can be to navigate through administrative and compliance setbacks. Even for the most diligent of employers, the difference between compliance and the other end of the law for minor, unintentional errors are slim, all resulting in stringent, increasingly expensive financial penalties. For example, under California Labor Code Section 226, employers are required to provide an accurate, written itemized wage statement to all employees, with failure to comply resulting in statutory penalties of up to $4,000 per employee or the employee’s accrued damages, whichever value is greater.

California employers may avoid pending liability for monetary penalties under Section 226 if they can demonstrate an ‘objectively reasonable and good faith belief in the accuracy of their wage statements.’

In this prolonged legislative debate, an evident division in authority among California’s intermediate appellate courts has emerged regarding the applicability of if a good faith defense applies to claims for employment penalties under Labor Code Section 226. However, on May 6, 2024, California employers were offered a welcomed development when the state Supreme Court resolved the authority split in the case of Naranjo v. Spectrum Security Services, Inc., unanimously settling the jurisdictional dispute and affirming that an employer’s “objectively reasonable, good faith belief” that it has issued employees compliant wage statements precludes an award of penalties under Section 226.

The ruling, which stems from a case first filed in 2007 by security guard Gustavo Naranjo, is only the latest checkpoint in what has been an uphill employment battle. The initial putative class action claims alleged Spectrum Security Services, Naranjo’s former employer, violated California’s labor law by

failing to provide both meal breaks and premium pay. Additionally, the suit went on to further allege that Spectrum also failed to pay meal period premiums in a timely fashion or report it in employees’ wage statements. In court, Spectrum quickly argued against these claims, stating the company was exempt from state mandated meal break requirements as a federal contractor. Initially, the court granted summary judgment to Spectrum, but that decision was reversed on appeal and sent to the state Supreme Court for judgment. Despite the language of the statute explicitly stating that penalties are recoverable for knowing and reporting violations, a split in authority regarding the meaning of that language remained. Following this crucial legislative news, the California Supreme Court has provided a clear interpretation of the labor code’s language, offering clarity on the matter for future employment-based disputes.

All that being said, let it be noted that California employers may avoid pending liability for monetary penalties under Section 226 if they can demonstrate an “objectively reasonable and good faith belief in the accuracy of their wage statements,” as noted in the official decision.

This decision represents a landmark victory for California’s employers currently facing claims for wage-statement violations based on alleged violations of the state’s Labor Code. However, in order to defeat a wage statement claim based on the good faith defense, employers must still demonstrate they had a reasonable basis to believe their wage statements followed state law. Given this news, employers should remain cognizant and be prepared to cite evidence of any objectively reasonable mistake or uncertainty in the law to support their good faith defense. ●
