After years of building our family business, my husband and I knew we needed a comprehensive plan that addressed our estate, the future of the company, and significant tax implications. We interviewed several attorneys, but Lauren Taylor at Brighton Law stood out immediately. Her dual background in finance and law, combined with her 17 years focused on high-net-worth individuals, gave us immense confidence. She didn't just draft documents; she took the time to understand our family dynamics and business goals thoroughly. Lauren structured a plan that seamlessly integrated a family limited partnership with our trust-based estate plan, achieving remarkable administrative and tax efficiency. Her recognition in Closely Held Companies and Trusts & Estates litigation is well-deserved—she anticipates potential disputes and structures agreements to avoid them. The process was complex, but Lauren’s guidance was clear, patient, and always strategic. We now have peace of mind knowing our legacy and business are protected. For any business owner in Tampa facing similar complexities, Lauren is an indispensable advisor.
