He provides support related to tax and business planning for individuals, corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies. He assists clients with the formation of corporations, limited liability companies and other business entities, the preparation of buy-sell agreements, business succession planning, the structuring of real estate transactions including Section 1031 like-kind exchanges, and the preparation of federal and New York estate tax returns and New Jersey inheritance tax returns.
