We also maintain a substantial practice focused on trusts and estates, business succession, andspecial needs planning, helping individuals and families plan for the future and preserve the legacies they have built.

In our transactional and intellectual property practice, we work closely with clients throughout the life cycle of an invention or business and at every stage of a transaction, from due diligence through closing. Our work draws on extensive experience in transactional, intellectual property, and technology law. We have helped companies, inventors, and entrepreneurs protect and build value in their work, innovations, and digital assets. By combining industry and technical knowledge with a close understanding of each client’s circumstances, we develop practical legal solutions for businesses, individuals, and families.

We believe in building lasting relationships, not simply handling individual transactions. Our trusts and estates team provides coordinated planning for estates, special needs, and business succession in a manner tailored to each family’s goals. We take a broad, hands-on approach to developing plans for the management and transfer of assets, business succession, asset protection, probate, charitable giving, and health care directives. We also assist with the transfer of assets to beneficiaries and other matters that arise as families plan for future generations.

In our special needs practice, we develop planning strategies that address the needs of individuals with disabilities. We work with individuals and their families to plan for care, support, and financial stability while preserving eligibility for applicable state and federal benefits.

Our commitment to creativity and innovation also shapes the way we practice law. We seek to improve on traditional approaches by keeping our clients’ needs at the center of our work. Through technology, strategic partnerships, and a collaborative culture, we work to provide responsive and efficient legal services tailored to each client’s goals.
