Our Practice
Our clients include private individuals, professionals, entrepreneurs, charitable organizations and corporations. Notably, we deal with private corporations at all stages of growth and development, assisting their owners and directors as well as their investors.
Our clients come to us with a variety of goals in mind. Some come to us for business planning, because they want to launch a new business, or grow or reorganize an existing one. For others it is about minimizing tax burdens and risk management. Others are looking to formulate and implement an exit strategy through effective transition planning. And for others it is about estate planning: setting up a family trust, making arrangements for a disabled beneficiary, or ensuring that their wealth will be distributed in accordance with their wishes.
