Expert guidance for our family business succession plan

We engaged Andrea Ricka at Ivins, Phillips & Barker to help our family navigate the complex transition of our multi-generational business and related estate planning. With 17 years of experience, her deep knowledge in both closely held companies and trusts was immediately apparent. She expertly guided us through structuring a buy-sell agreement and creating trusts that addressed our specific goals for continuity and tax efficiency. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in these fields is well-deserved. Andrea was patient, explained legal concepts clearly, and was genuinely invested in our family's legacy. The only slight drawback was that during particularly busy periods, response times could occasionally lag by a day. Overall, her strategic advice from her D.C. practice was invaluable, and we feel confident our plan is solid.
