A consummate professional who guided our complex business succession

After 45 years in business, my partners and I faced the daunting task of planning our exit and succession. We needed an attorney with a deep, integrated understanding of corporate structure, tax implications, and estate planning. David Ritter of Brach Eichler was precisely that advisor. His decades of experience, particularly his recognized expertise in Business Organizations and Tax Law, were immediately apparent. He didn't just review documents; he provided holistic counsel, meticulously explaining how the sale of our LLC would impact our personal estates and future income. Mr. Ritter crafted a strategy that addressed New Jersey-specific considerations while minimizing our tax burden—a sophisticated balance few could achieve. What impressed me most was his ability to distill complex legal and tax concepts into clear, actionable steps, making us feel confident and informed at every turn. His guidance through the intricacies of business succession planning was invaluable, resulting in a seamless transition that secured our legacies and financial futures. For anyone in the Roseland area navigating similar multifaceted personal and business planning, David Ritter’s seasoned judgment and comprehensive skill set are absolutely indispensable. The outcome was everything we hoped for, handled with the utmost professionalism.
