HI, I’M KRISTEN…

With both a J.D. and an LL.M. in taxation, I have 20 years of practice as a transactional and tax attorney.  As part of my transactional practice, I advise companies in all stages of the business life cycle including on choice of entity and funding matters, growth strategies, equity incentive plans and exit strategies.  Also in my transactional practice, I represent clients in mergers and acquisitions, private equity capital raises and complex income tax planning, including tax-free reorganizations.

Exit strategies for some of my corporate clients include implementing succession plans to transfer ownership to the next generation, which dovetails nicely into my practice in advising high net worth individuals in their estate plans. I provide creative estate planning solutions to individuals planning for the next generation of business leaders, including the preparation of wills, revocable trusts, irrevocable trusts, premarital agreements, and the creation of charitable organizations.
