Ed

Bringing more than four decades of experience to his legal practice, Ed McGillen advises individuals, businesses, fiduciaries, and charitable organizations on a wide array of legal matters. These include trust, estate and tax planning, business/business succession planning, and trust/estate administration.

Sensitive to the often personal nature of his work, Ed works to make clients feel comfortable sharing the sensitive information and concerns he needs to craft plans and solutions that best fit their individual circumstances and goals. With an understanding that legal concepts and terminology can be baffling to many non-lawyers, Ed tries to distill complicated topics into straightforward language and practical recommendations so clients can make informed, well considered decisions. As a result, he has a history of building trusting and long lasting relationships with clients and often with multiple generations of the same family.

Ed draws on a broad set of legal skills he has developed over the years in the corporate, tax, real estate, and litigation arenas, which helps him better advise his clients today. This knowledge base enables him to often serve as a “general counsel” to clients and to offer insights into matters that extend beyond the immediate focus of his practice.

In all matters, Ed looks to find innovative ways to minimize tax burdens, resolve issues effectively, and head off future problems before they arise.
