Gideon Rothschild focuses his practice in the areas of domestic and international estate planning and asset protection, including the use of sophisticated estate planning techniques in the representation of high-net-worth individuals. Mr. Rothschild is a nationally-recognized authority on the use of offshore trusts and estate planning strategies for wealth preservation and succession planning. His clients include professionals, real estate developers and owners, closely-held business owners and directors of publicly-held companies. His practice also includes estate administration and the representation of clients in taxpayer disputes at the federal, state and local levels.

That is, by educating his clients on the non-tax benefits available with trusts and other vehicles and how they can be drafted in a flexible manner, his clients can achieve both tax savings and wealth preservation. Such benefits include protection from divorce, creditors or litigation exposure.
