I'm a partner in the Private Client Services Department at Wiggin and Dana LLP. Wiggin's Private Client Services Department has been ranked "Tier 1" nationally by US News. The firm includes about 160 lawyers in multiple offices throughout Connecticut, as well as in New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Palm Beach. I spend most of my time in Wiggin's Greenwich and New York offices. Although I do trust and estate work for all kinds of wealthy families, my focus is on business owners, private equity, venture capital and hedge fund founders, family offices and C-suite executives. I have a particular passion for working with family companies, having grown up in my own family's third generation business.I'm a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel and have been included on various "best lawyer" lists, including those compiled by Worth Magazine (Top 100 trust lawyers in the United States), Chambers and Partners (Tier 1 lawyer) and The Best Lawyers in America (Lawyer of the Year in the categories of trusts and estates and trust litigation). I've also authored articles for Trusts and Estates Magazine, Estate Planning Magazine and the National Law Journal and have been quoted on trust and tax topics in national periodicals, including the Wall Street Journal, Kiplinger's Personal Finance and Financial Planning. In my off-hours, I can sometimes be found indulging my love of singing with the Offsounders, an all-male acapella group based in Greenwich.Specialties: Estate and tax planning; business succession planning; family office representation; estate and trust administration; probate litigation.
