Jennifer Breton brings a strategic, problem-solving approach to her trusts and estates practice, counseling high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families on estate planning and administration, business succession, and domestic and international tax matters. She is known for translating complex legal and tax concepts into clear, practical guidance so clients can make informed decisions with confidence.
Drawing on more than two decades of experience, Jennifer helps families navigate sensitive and often emotionally charged situations, such as the creation and administration of special needs trusts and the design of succession plans for family businesses. Jennifer carefully balances existing trust structures, the capabilities of next-generation beneficiaries, and workplace culture. She approaches this work with genuine compassion, particularly when leading families through the challenges of special needs, complicated transitions, or the loss of a loved one.
Jennifer’s advanced degree in taxation, with a certificate in estate planning, enables her to guide clients through the tax implications of their planning decisions and to structure arrangements that align with both personal and financial objectives. Although her focus is on proactive planning to minimize risk and avoid disputes, she also provides sophisticated analysis, strategy, and support to litigation teams when trust and estate controversies arise.
