Business counsel for complex matters requiring practical judgment and strategic planning
Dale B. Cazes leads BLG advising on matters where legal structure, tax consequences, dispute strategy, and long-term commercial outcomes intersect. Clients engage him when the stakes are meaningful, the facts are layered, and the solution must work in practice, not just in theory.
His practice spans the business life cycle, from formation and operations through transactions, disputes, and exit/succession. He advises business owners, executives, and fiduciaries on entity formation, capitalization, tax planning, governance, contracts, mergers and acquisitions, financing, real estate, and executive compensation, as well as the resolution of tax and business disputes through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, litigation, and appeal. This breadth reflects a practice built to address the full context of a matter, including tax posture, ownership implications, dispute considerations, operational realities, and long-term business objectives.
Before founding BLG, Dale spent over a decade at Phillips Murrah, P.C., a firm known for sophisticated legal and business matters, where he developed his judgment working on significant transactions, disputes, tax matters, and related business issues.
Dale approaches matters with the understanding that business issues are rarely isolated. Legal, tax, financial, and operational considerations are often interconnected, and effective solutions require addressing them together. BLG is built to do exactly that.
