William J. LeDoux
Partner
Overview
Will LeDoux advises businesses on Texas and multistate state and local tax (SALT) matters, helping clients secure incentives, resolve complex controversies and plan transactions with tax efficiency in mind. Based in Dallas, he works with clients across industries, including e-commerce retailers, manufacturers, data center and renewable energy developers and operators, as well as healthcare, software and technology, sporting goods and travel companies.
Will helps businesses navigate state tax compliance and audits across a range of tax types – including income, sales and use, franchise, property tax and unclaimed property matters – in jurisdictions across the U.S. He regularly counsels clients on state-specific tax regimes and multistate planning strategies.
When disputes arise, he represents taxpayers in administrative and judicial proceedings, helping clients resolve complex tax controversies with an eye toward their broader business operations.
On the transactional side, Will advises on the tax implications of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), business restructurings, product sales and leases, as well as state and local tax incentive opportunities. He also routinely works on tax-related legislative efforts and provides clients insights into how legislative and policy developments may affect their planning.
Before joining Holland & Knight, Will was an attorney at a global law firm, where he built a broad-based SALT practice.
