Gary Andrew Forster

Gary Forster is the managing partner of Forster Boughman & Lefkowitz. Gary’s practice includes domestic and international, corporate, asset protection, tax and estate planning law. Gary handles a variety of corporate and personal planning matters.

Gary spent the first decade of his career structuring and closing some of the largest corporate transactions in the region.  The mergers and acquisitions Gary consummated range from the national consolidation of regional US construction and transportation interests to real estate investment trusts, hospitals and surgical centers.  Gary is one of the few attorneys in Central Florida with experience in cross-border corporate transactions, including a variety of industries ranging from intellectual property concerns to international distribution and manufacturing interests.

Gary’s corporate work with some of the most prominent companies and entrepreneurs in Florida and abroad led him to expand his practice fifteen years ago.  Successful clients require substantial tax, estate planning and asset protection planning.  Gary recognized that certain wealthy clients require a single partner contact, familiar with both business law and tax planning and structuring. Gary serves that purpose.

Gary is the author of two books. In 2013, he wrote Asset Protection for Professionals, Entrepreneurs and Investors, a guide to asset protection strategies for clients and their financial advisors, now in its second edition. In 2016 Gary finished the first edition of The U.S. Estate and Gift Tax and the Non-Citizen. This book explains how resident and non-resident foreign nationals are impacted by the U.S. Estate and Gift Tax. Gary is rated AV – Preeminent, by Martindale-Hubbell and writes and lectures frequently on the topics of asset protection, international tax and corporate law. Gary has designed and drafted hundreds of corporate documents and asset protection plans.

Most recently, Mr. Forster’s suggested amendments were adopted as Section 43A of the new Nevis LLC Ordinance (Nevis Limited Liability Company (Amendment) Ordinance, 2015). Gary also speaks Spanish fluently. For a listing of Gary’s recent speaking engagements, see .
