Biography
Ronni Davidowitz helps clients sort out the legal, business, tax and personal issues that can arise when planning their estates or managing their wealth. As the head of Katten's New York Private Wealth practice, she understands that listening and being responsive are two of the most important services she can bring to her client relationships. Changes in tax laws, the economic climate, and family and business situations may require adjustments to clients' estate and wealth plans. Ronni is a ready resource to help her client strategies keep pace. High-net-worth individuals, closely held businesses, entrepreneurs, artists and art collectors are among those who rely on Ronni for this close attention to their affairs, as well as her keen planning skills and sympathetic ear. Ronni finds creative and efficient ways to help her clients avoid litigation. When conflicts do arise, she has a successful track record advising clients on estate and gift tax audits, estate and gift tax litigation and Surrogate's Court contested matters, including probate disputes and fiduciary accountings. She also creates and advises public charities and private foundations.
