Private Client Wealth Planning

Planning may include revocable and irrevocable trusts, Spousal Lifetime Access Trusts, Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts, and charitable vehicles. Each structure is coordinated with transfer-tax objectives, liquidity planning, and the client’s existing investment and tax advisors.

Asset Protection

Asset-protection planning may involve domestic asset protection trusts, properly capitalized holding companies, and layered entity ownership. The work addresses creditor exposure, insurance alignment, and the distinction between personal and enterprise assets.

Family Business Succession

Succession planning addresses buy-sell agreements, voting and non-voting equity, governance documents, and transition milestones. The objective is a workable framework for family leadership, ownership continuity, and professional management.

Strategic Corporate Counsel

Corporate counsel includes entity formation, operating agreements, shareholder arrangements, and holding-company design. Engagements focus on closely held enterprises where ownership, control, and family wealth planning must remain aligned.
