Riker Danzig Welcomes New Tax and Trusts & Estates Partner

Tracy Green Landauer has joined Riker Danzig as a partner in the Tax and Trusts & Estates Group, resident in the Firm’s New York Office.  Tracy provides personal estate planning, charitable gift planning and closely-held business succession planning to a broad range of individuals and families.  Tracy also provides ongoing and special issue representation to both new and established private foundations (individual and corporate) and public charities including arts, health, educational, community, literary, research and trade organizations.

Tracy values the long-standing relationships she has with many of her clients.  Whether working with individuals in planning their estates, or with the officers and directors of the non-profits she represents, she listens closely to help her clients prioritize their needs and goals in order to help them implement the best plan for their circumstances.  Estate planning clients gain an understanding of the options open to them and work with Tracy to determine which steps to take first for the greatest peace of mind.  Tracy’s start-up tax-exempt clients work with her to make tailored, strategic choices on issues of formation, exemption, board governance and policies, and organizational structures.  Both new and established non-profits work with Tracy to successfully navigate IRS and state reporting requirements and audits; U.S. tax compliance issues in domestic and international grant-making; unrelated business income, prohibited transactions and operational issues; and compliance with state fundraising/solicitation requirements for print and electronic media.

Prior to joining Riker Danzig, Tracy was a partner at Pryor Cashman LLP in their Trusts & Estates group.  Tracy has authored several publications in the trusts and estates area.

Thomson Reuters has included Tracy on its “Super Lawyers” list in Estate & Probate Law for 2012.
