Amanda Marie Kennedy

I am currently practicing as a Florida Licensed Attorney focusing on Business, Corporate and Tax Law. My passion is putting knowledge into the hands of individuals - from entrepreneurs to consumers - so they can make better informed decisions about business structures and tax planning.

I handle a myriad of business matters for sole-proprietors, small businesses, and Corporations from proper structuring for tax and liability purposes, corporate compliance and governance, tax planning and compliance,  dissolutions, and outside general counsel services.

I assist clients with their business ventures by drafting private placement memorandums for equity financing, equity purchase agreements, shareholder agreements; joint venture agreements, financial statements, asset-purchase agreements, and franchise agreements. I have experience with corporate compliance matters including Form D compliance and address State Securities inquiries and disputes.

I advise on complex tax matters including Estate and Charitable planning, compliance with ASC-740 as well as federal, state, and local tax compliance for businesses. I assist individual taxpayers with tax preparation and planning.

I serve as Co-Chair of the Tax Law Committee of the Orange County Bar Association in Orlando, Florida and I am admitted to the United States Tax Court.
