A fellow of the American College of Tax Counsel and member of the IRS Commissioner’s Advisory Group, Jay’s tax practice spanned nearly every discipline of federal and transfer tax law – from planning and participating in the legislative process through lobbying and drafting activities, developing tax-sensitive business strategies, and representing taxpayers before administrative agencies and courts.

Jay was committed to truly listening to each client’s specific concerns and objectives. He was dedicated to collaboration and to designing actionable paths to realizing his client’s end game. Jay’s background and know-how in even the most sensitive areas of the law helped him translate each client’s objectives into tangible solutions that make practical business sense.
