Neal Brodsky

Attorney

I concentrate my law practice on planning for the transfer of family wealth. I work closely with clients on the design and implementation of tax-advantaged asset transfers, including planning for the transfer of closely-held business interests. I assist clients with their philanthropic planning, including charitable trusts and family foundations. I draft all manner of revocable and irrevocable trust agreements, buy-sell agreements and other business succession documents, and marital agreements. I work with clients on complex estate and trust administration, including the preparation of estate tax returns, fiduciary income tax returns and private foundation tax returns. I have represented many clients in the resolution of complex family business disputes.
