Family Office counsel
We advise families, family offices, and closely held businesses on the legal matters that arise when ownership, investment, and family relationships intersect. We help clients establish and structure family offices, negotiate real estate and private business transactions, and develop governance arrangements that clarify who makes decisions and how ownership passes to the next generation. We work alongside our clients’ tax, estate planning, and investment advisers to carry out transactions and put long-term plans into practice.
Matrimonial and other mediation
We help clients use mediation to seek resolution without the time, aggravation, and expense of litigation, while preserving the option to litigate if necessary. The process can create room for candid discussion of the practical, financial, and personal issues behind a dispute.
Paula Zimmerman Eichberg brings experience in tax and securities law and now concentrates on mediating disputes among businesses and individuals. Ross Eichberg also brings his transactional perspective to mediation. His book Why Can’t We Get Along? The Pieces Always Fit reflects his interest in perspective and communication.
