Los Angeles, (JULY 30, 2025)– Saul Ewing’s Los Angeles office has added two new attorneys, Partner Sally Saab, an experienced tax and trusts and estates attorney who will focus on a wide array of tax, wealth transfer and business succession matters, and Associate Olga Kuzmina who will handle high-stakes trust and estate disputes as well as trust administration.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sally and Olga to Saul Ewing,” said Los Angeles Office Managing Partner Steven Ziven. “Sally’s transactional tax experience significantly enriches our firm’s support for business clients, both within California and across the country. Sally is known for providing sophisticated tax counsel and strategic and practical advice on business succession planning. Sally will also be an invaluable resource for our high net worth clientele who are seeking legal guidance in preserving and enhancing their legacies. Olga will also support our high-net worth clients and help them in related high-stakes trust and estate disputes.”
Ms. Saab focuses her practice on U.S. federal, income, estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer tax matters as well as California state and local income, documentary transfer, and property tax matters.
Clients rely on her for business tax advice, from entity formation and asset acquisitions and dispositions to reviewing executive agreements and incentive arrangements (including profits interests and 409A deferred compensation plans), and organizational/legal restructuring. As an extension of her transactional tax practice, Ms. Saab drafts joint venture, operating, partnership and tenancy in common agreements governing the ownership and operation of real estate and other business interests. She also advises clients with respect to Code section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges and has experience representing fund managers in the preparation of real estate fund documents.
In addition, Ms. Saab provides practical counsel on wealth transfer and family business succession. She crafts personalized trust agreements and other estate planning documents that align with clients’ goals for their legacy and account for attendant tax consequences. She also represents trustees in the administration of complex trust estates, addressing such matters as fiduciary duties and liability issues faced by trustees as well as tax and practical questions relating to trust assets.
Ms. Saab earned both an LL.M. in Taxation and a J.D. from New York University School of Law and a B.A. from University of Michigan.
