Laura Angel-Lalanne
Partner
Represents high-net-worth individual clients in the areas of estate planning and trust and estate administration, with an emphasis on philanthropic planning and the administration of trusts and estates with philanthropic interests.
Laura creates sophisticated estate plans for clients, helping them to balance their sometimes competing objectives, particularly for clients who wish to achieve tax efficiencies, benefit family members and ensure a lasting philanthropic legacy.
She assists with the creation, governance, tax and regulatory compliance and operation of private grantmaking foundations, private operating foundations and other philanthropic vehicles and advises both foundations and individual donors with respect to charitable grants and gifts, including negotiating and drafting agreements for complex grants and gifts to museums, universities and other charitable institutions.
Laura also advises public charities, including educational institutions and many of the firm's pro bono clients, with respect to formation and recognition of tax-exempt status, board governance, best practice policies and procedures, endowment administration, fundraising, corporate sponsorships, planned giving and charitable programs.
