Wayne Eig refers to himself as a business and tax lawyer for individuals and closely held entities, providing advice to clients involved in various business, investment, financial and succession planning activities. Sometimes, his clients are individuals or families, sometimes entities and often a combination of individuals/families and affiliated entities working together. Sometimes, these businesses have great value, sometimes they do not – but all of these clients have needs which require legal attention.Over the course of his career, Wayne has chaired, and in some instances continues to chair, some of the firm’s major practice groups – Estate/Trust Administration, Estate Planning, Tax, and Commercial Transactions. In nearly forty years of practice, Wayne has learned that the role of a small business lawyer is to work with clients to help define and address their goals, and just as importantly, to evaluate and monitor them over time. Whether it is a fairly simple will and estate plan or a complicated transaction involving tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars, the role of the small business lawyer remains the same.

Eric Young
Mr. Eig's experience in business and tax law was evident in his handling of our trust planning. He explained complex legal concepts clearly, though sometimes took longer to respond than expected. The firm's recognition in trusts and estates is well-deserved, but we found his availability during critical negotiation phases to be limited. While his expertise in corporate structures and financial planning proved valuable, better communication could have improved the experience. A solid choice for legal guidance, but with room for improvement in follow-up.
