A consummate professional who guided our family business through a complex transition

Our family-owned manufacturing business, established for over 40 years, faced a critical juncture requiring a complex restructuring of our LLC and a multi-generational succession plan. We needed an attorney with a rare blend of expertise in business organizations, tax implications, and estate planning. William Lentine was precisely that advisor. From our first meeting at Taft's Southfield office, his 18 years of deep experience were evident. He didn't just offer legal solutions; he provided a holistic strategy that considered our business's operational future and our family's legacy. His guidance on the partnership agreements was meticulous, and his foresight in structuring the transaction to minimize tax exposure was invaluable, clearly reflecting the recognition he's received in those fields. What truly set him apart was his ability to translate complex legal and tax concepts into clear, actionable steps for our non-legal family members. The process was seamless, and the outcome has secured our business for the next generation while providing peace of mind for our retirees. William is the definition of a trusted counselor. We cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone navigating similar business and personal wealth transitions.
