We represent clients in structuring business transactions, as well as planning their charitable giving, income and estate tax matters. Individual and business clients alike rely on resourceful and responsive attorneys to effectively minimize the impact of income taxes, gift taxes, estate taxes and generation-skipping transfer taxes for both themselves and their heirs. Through the strategic use of cutting-edge and traditional income- and asset-transfer devices, we work to help you take full advantage of all applicable tax credits, deductions, exemptions and elections, so you can transfer your wealth with maximum benefit for your business, your family and your philanthropic beneficiaries.

We provide experienced tax advice to individuals, executors, trustees and businesses in a wide range of tax areas.

The proper legal decisions can only be made with a complete understanding of the resulting tax consequences.
