At Kozusko Harris Duncan, we are twenty-two lawyers located in Manhattan, Washington, DC, New Haven, Connecticut, and Chicago, Illinois. Our lawyers are tax lawyers, financial services lawyers, business lawyers, trust lawyers, and advocates. We advise exceptionally successful families and entrepreneurs; their trusts, trust companies, family offices, investment vehicles and charitable organizations; and the financial institutions and wealth management firms that serve them. Our clients are located in the United States and around the globe.
We focus on the core legal issues that are of recurring importance to our select clientele such as: income and transfer tax planning and controversies, international structures for multinational families, private and commercial trust company design and regulation, business succession, trust and family governance, family office securities law, charitable and other nonprofit organizations, litigation management and dispute resolution, and significant transactions involving family businesses. Our core objective is to provide integrated cross-disciplinary legal advice tailored to our clients’ goals, and we designed and built our firm to meet the specific needs of that select spectrum of clients. We make no effort to maintain proficiency in many areas of the law, such as criminal defense or divorce representation, nor in matters that usually affect only public companies. Instead, we engage other firms on behalf of our clients when those issues arise.
