We have a keen understanding of tax laws, closely held businesses, family dynamics, changes in outlook among generations, decision making in families and business organizations, protection from creditors’ claims, and the peculiar challenges of collectibles and other unique assets. Our sound counsel derives from a wealth of experience combined with strategic utilization of relationships with other legal specialists, accountants, life insurance professionals, appraisers and taxing authorities. The continued growth and expansion of our practice have created openings for experienced trust and estate associates on either shareholder or non-shareholder tracks in Princeton, NJ.
