Our Private Client Services Group has built a national reputation on a foundation of technical expertise, trust, sensitivity and loyalty. We work closely with clients to help them identify goals and objectives and to provide innovative and pragmatic solutions tailored to their needs. We address a broad range of issues, including: estate planning and related tax work; estate and trust administration; estate and trust litigation; planning for family businesses; and charitable giving.
Our keen understanding of sweeping changes to estate, gift and generation-skipping tax regimes enables us to build flexible, creative will and trust documents, assuring that our clients’ plans will work under new scenarios. It is not unusual for Stroock to simultaneously represent several generations of the same family. Nor is it uncommon for our lawyers to serve, at the request of clients, as executors of wills, as trustees of family trusts and as directors of family foundations.
As a recognized leader in the field of trusts and estates, we have written thought leadership on estate planning and trust and estate administration and have lectured extensively.
