Hooper specializes in estate law, advising individuals and business owners to prepare estate plans, as well as advising executors and beneficiaries in complex probate and estate administration matters. He also represents commercial, construction and insurance litigation clients at all levels of court.
King’s practice consists of corporate and commercial law (including incorporations of both for-profit and not-for-profit companies, corporate reorganizations, buying/selling businesses and assets, shareholder agreements, commercial debt financings, and private equity financings), wills and estates (including both estate planning and estate administration), and property law.
