DENVER, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Andrew Rubin, J.D., LL.M., senior associate in Burleson LLP's Denver office, will present SALT in the Oil Patch: Current Developments in State and Local Tax in the Rockies at five upcoming chapter meetings of the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies (COPAS) in Texas and Oklahoma. 

Rubin will cover recent news and trends in Colorado, North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana, and fundamental distinctions in how each state handles taxation of oil and gas activities.  Topics will include sales and use tax, income tax, and severance tax. 

"The energy sector of the Rocky Mountain region is experiencing an incredible time of growth, and there are a number of Texas- and Oklahoma-based companies evaluating investment opportunities in the area," said Rubin, who focuses his practice on business and tax law matters.  "This presentation will shed light on some of the unique tax opportunities in the region and provide key insights on topics important to companies looking to operate or broaden their reach in the Rockies."

Rubin has broad experience advising businesses on a variety of tax matters, including federal, state, and local, as well as international tax issues.  He has counseled companies on the state tax treatment of helium production, manufacturing investment credits and exemptions, and financial instruments. 

As a member of the firm's Oil and Gas Transactions Group, Rubin represents clients in the energy sector in the negotiation and drafting of oil and gas leases, purchase and sale agreements, joint operating agreements, farmout agreements, financing, and credit agreements.
