About Steven Robert
Steven Robert Lehr built a foundation in law and finance that shows in the work he does today. He earned a B.S. in Finance from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1985. He received his J.D. from American University in 1988 and later completed an LL.M. at New York University School of Law in 1993. Those degrees shaped a practice that blends tax analysis and corporate structuring.
He is licensed to practice in New Jersey, New York, Florida and the District of Columbia. He serves as president and corporate and tax lawyer at Steven Robert Lehr PC. In that role he counsels business owners and executives on legal matters that affect the bottom line and the balance sheet.
Lehr’s work covers both transactional and advisory matters. He advises on business formation and entity selection, tax planning and compliance, contract drafting and review, and corporate governance. He also handles tax-oriented aspects of mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations. Clients include closely held companies and professionals seeking practical legal and tax solutions.
His approach is straightforward. He breaks complex tax rules into plain language. He structures transactions to address legal and tax risks at the outset. That often means drafting documents that anticipate future disputes and regulatory questions. He also consults on ongoing compliance, helping clients manage reporting obligations and internal controls.
Outside the details of any single matter, Lehr follows a practical rhythm. He balances short-term transactional needs against longer-term tax consequences. He works directly with accountants and financial advisors when an integrated solution is required. He also represents clients before tax authorities when disputes arise, combining legal argument with financial context.
Over decades in practice he has kept an emphasis on both corporate law and tax. His office, Steven Robert Lehr PC, provides counsel across four jurisdictions and serves a mix of small businesses and individual taxpayers. He continues to handle corporate and tax matters for clients operating in multiple states and before federal tax authorities, and his current practice focuses on corporate transactions, tax planning and related compliance work.
