Cross-border family law is a significant part of our practice. Our principal attorney is admitted in England and Wales, the Republic of Ireland, and the Republic of Türkiye; in addition to being admitted in New Jersey, New York, Florida, and District of Columbia. This multi-jurisdictional background allows us to assist clients with international custody disputes, relocation matters, foreign divorces and orders, enforcement issues, and family law disputes involving parties, children, assets, or legal proceedings in multiple countries.
Our firm advises individuals, families, fiduciaries, and beneficiaries on estate planning, trusts, probate, estate administration, tax planning, and related litigation. We assist clients with wills, trusts, succession planning, asset distribution, and the administration of estates and trusts, including federal and state tax considerations affecting estates, trusts, and beneficiaries.
We represent executors, administrators, trustees, beneficiaries, heirs, and family members in contested estates, fiduciary disputes, inheritance claims, accounting matters, tax-related disputes, and disputes concerning the interpretation or administration of wills and trusts. Our approach combines practical guidance with strong advocacy to protect our clients’ assets, intentions, tax liability, and other legal rights.
We also assist with international and cross-border estate and tax matters involving assets, beneficiaries, fiduciaries, or legal proceedings in multiple jurisdictions.
