Firm Overview

We work with our clients to help them navigate the legal arena as they journey through the business lifecycle, including business succession planning, tax, and estate planning. We deliver quality legal services to a broad range of corporate, individual, entrepreneurial, start-up, and nonprofit clients, whether such clients are local, regional, national, or international.

We believe that clients are better served by maintaining expertise in interrelated practice areas rather than by practicing as generalists in every discipline. As such, we provide solutions to our clients by focusing our efforts on specializing in cross-functional practice areas, including corporate, compensation and benefits, ERISA, business succession, ESOPs, tax, estate planning, and mergers and acquisitions. Our attorneys' concentrated experience in these disciplines and continuous tailored training allows the firm to grow our expertise as the law evolves, while ensuring that our culture remains focused on delivering personalized service and outstanding value to our clients. This business focus has made Maselan & Jones, P.C. the appealing choice for companies seeking not only the specialized resources of a larger firm, but also the personal services and cost-effective legal solutions of a smaller firm.
