Norm Lofgren focuses his practice on helping clients build and protect their businesses, minimize tax exposure and preserve wealth from generation to generation. Norm’s clients include domestic and international closely-held businesses, high-net-worth families, entrepreneurs and professionals, and they rely on him to advise on all types of business and wealth protection issues, ranging from complex estate, tax and business planning to structuring multi-million dollar transactions and resolving tax audits and controversies. A significant portion of Norm’s practice is devoted to helping businesses owners and families design comprehensive succession planning strategies to facilitate the seamless transition of ownership to family members or trusted employees.
