About Gideon
Biography
I distinguish my practice by emphasizing not only tax minimization but how to preserve and protect my clients' wealth through multiple generations from creditors, divorcing ex-spouses and litigation. Strategies used include domestic and foreign trusts. The traditional drafting of Wills leaves bequests outright at certain ages while not considering the risks such beneficiaries may be exposed to thereafter. By creatively drafting trusts and educating the family members one can preserve the wealth without necessarily ceding control.

Excellent Estate Planning Attorney
Gideon's national reputation in his field is well deserved. As a former senior partner of a large NYC law firm and later CEO of a NYSE listed company I believe I am able to assess legal talent and practicality with a great deal of experience. Gideon gets my ringing endorsement.

Excellent lawyer
Mr Rothschild is very knowledgeable. He is prompt and responsive and has been extremely helpful. He was recommended to me by another attorney. He is working on some complex estate and tax matters which should hopefuly be resolved in the ensuing months. I give him my highest recommendation.
