Areas of Practice
Estate Planning
Estate planning is fundamental to the succession of a person’s or family’s wealth. We work with clients to understand the greater context of their family and investment arrangements. We help them articulate and balance their goals of tax reduction, asset succession, and financial security for themselves and their family members and then work to have that balance reflected in their documents. Following this initial planning, clients typically seek us out as their family and business arrangements evolve and this continuation of service is a deeply rewarding aspect of our practice.
Estate Administration
Administering an estate frequently involves a wide range of practical, legal and tax issues. We work to understand the background scenario and objectives of our clients— whether they are executors, beneficiaries or trustees — and advise them how to navigate the process that can range from simple to complex. .
Family Business & Investment Transactions
Family wealth is often preserved, enhanced and passed down in family businesses and holding companies. Or families may have significant equity in employers or ventures with other partners. All of these structures require careful formation and deliberation to preserve access to liquidity, reduce risk and provide for succession. We work with clients to help them articulate their goals and reflect them in their arrangements.
