A practicing attorney for more than four decades, I have led a law practice that effectively integrates both the financial and legal implications of client business and personal matters. With significant experience in litigation and appellate advocacy, I have appeared multiple times before federal and state administrative bodies, trial and appellate forums.My specialties include the analysis, preparation and defense of complex federal and state tax documents and filings – from individual and business, income and estate to civil and criminal tax appeals and the management of audits. I negotiate and resolve the full complement of business disputes, from those involving family enterprises to organizations governed by public stock ownership.Over the years, the array of business matters on which I have counseled clients have involved intangible transfers, ownership and development issues in software plus the planning for various contingencies affecting individuals and their commercial interests – such as documentation analysis, succession planning, executive estate planning and separation issues along with buy-outs and takeovers that have been instigated by third parties.My commercial and individual real estate representation includes commercial lease preparation and review, litigation involving landlords and tenants, real estate transfers and condominium matters (associations and unit owners) as well as tax assessment abatement issues.With a client portfolio that includes individuals as well as large U.S. and foreign corporations, I also have experience in arbitration, both as an advocate and as an arbitrator.
