Caryn Young

I practice in the areas of estate and gift tax planning, administration of complex estates and business succession matters, helping my clients navigate the complex federal and state rules and preserve, protect and grow family wealth in a tax efficient manner. I also assist clients with the administration of complex estates, including preparation of estate and gift tax returns, representing clients in tax audits with the IRS and dealings with the IRS art advisory panel.

Earlier in my legal career, I handled corporate and securities law matters. I served as in-house counsel at American Express Bank, where I provided legal support to the global investment services division, and was also a corporate associate in private practice.

I also have substantial experience in the field of international economic development. I was managing director, global head of programs, at the Financial Services Volunteer Corps in New York, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to strengthen financial sectors in emerging market countries. During the mid-1990s, I served as a project manager for the International Finance Corporation’s small-scale privatization projects in Belarus and Ukraine, and also served as a consultant in Ukraine and Kazakhstan for KPMG Peat Marwick.
