Biography

Lawrence Cohen is a partner in Nixon Peabody LLP’s Private Clients practice group. He provides wealth management and trustee services and estate planning and administration services to high-net-worth individuals, private foundations and organizations.

What do you focus on?

I focus my practice on wealth management and trust administration, estate planning and estate administration, charitable planning and business succession planning. My clients are high-net-worth individuals seeking a broad array of services including financial and estate planning, investment management and federal and state income tax planning and return preparation. I also represent people at institutions seeking advice on estate administration, charitable foundation administration and related probate transfer tax and income tax issues.

I am an active member of Boston’s Jewish community and serve as New England President and National Board Member of the Jewish National Fund.

An active member of Boston’s estate-planning community, I have published articles in the Massachusetts Law Review, the National Law Review, and Trusts and Estates Magazine.

I have also raised substantial funds for the New England Home for Little Wanderers by running the Boston Marathon.
