Lawrence T. Neher
Partner
Lawrence Neher is a 1978 graduate of New York University School of Law. Prior to founding Berkowitz, Lichtstein, Kuritsky, Giasullo & Gross, LLC, in January 1999, he spent his legal career at Hannoch Weisman, P.C. He served as Chairman of the firm's Litigation Department from 1991 to 1996.
Lawrence has focused his practice on litigation concerning the conduct of fiduciaries. He has counseled executors, trustees, accountants, corporate officers and directors, attorneys, beneficiaries, and other interested parties on how such litigation can be avoided or minimized.
Lawrence's clients have included members of some of America's most prominent families, foreign governments, national banks, brokerage firms and financial institutions, and well known charitable organizations, in both New York and New Jersey.
He has appeared in both state and federal courts, as well as the New Jersey Tax Court. Several of the matters he has handled have resulted in significant judicial decisions, including a case of first impression in New Jersey concerning the extent to which a fiduciary may assert the attorney/client privilege and the work product doctrine.
Lawrence frequently lectures to industry and professional groups with an interest in fiduciary and estate administration, investment issues, and the rights of beneficiaries of private and statutorily created trusts.
