WILLS & ESTATES
We offer a vast range of services in estate and business succession planning, estate administration, and litigation. Our estates department is keenly aware of the often difficult decisions family members have to make in succession planning and estate administration. Trusts are a terrific tool to ensure that succession objectives are achieved such as family wealth protection and preservation. We work closely with our clients to provide detailed plans that fit their individual needs. We work with executors to assist them in the probate application process, transfer of assets, satisfaction of estate debts and liabilities, and estate tax filings to the conclusion of the estate.
CORPORATE
Our Corporate and Commercial Group provides practical advice to a wide range of businesses. We assist clients in setting up a corporate structure that will enable them to implement their business objectives securely and with minimum liability. We draft agreements to ensure that our clients’ relationships with key parties, such as suppliers, distributors, customers and licensees are clear and enforceable. We also ensure that our clients’ important business assets, such as intellectual property, are protected through appropriate agreements with employees, contractors and licensees.
