US law firm Day Pitney has appointed international tax attorney Von E Sanborn to expand its family office practices and tax services. He is a partner in the organization’s corporate and business law department and is a member of its family office practice in New York.

Sanborn previously worked at Withers Bergman, the law firm.

His practice area includes tax and estate planning, as well as art law advice for affluent US and international families and single- and multi-family offices. He advises clients on structuring inbound and outbound businesses, real estate transactions and investments and provides guidance on US estate planning matters with an emphasis on the use of non-US trusts by multinational families.

Over the past year, the family office practice team has added over a half dozen lawyers at the partner, counsel and associate levels. Sanborn joins this expanded group to advise clients on federal, state and international tax issues related to transactions, real estate investments, income and transfer taxes, and tax practice and procedure.

“Von’s unique experience as an advisor and problem solver strengthens our Firm’s full suite of legal services to family offices, particularly with respect to our international tax and tax planning services,” R Scott Beach, chair of Day Pitney’s corporate and business law department and head of the firm’s family office practice, said.

Sanborn earned his BA from Boston University, his J D from Albany Law School, Union University, and his LL M from Villanova University School of Law. He is admitted to practice in New York, Connecticut and New Hampshire and in the United States Tax Court. He is also a Registered Foreign Lawyer in the UK.
