A member of Rubin and Rudman’s Executive Committee, Robert Vigoda focuses his own practice on high net worth families in areas such as estate planning, administration, and business succession for family owned businesses. Rob has been recognized for his experience, imagination, and strong sense of service. Rob represents some of the most financially successful entrepreneurs and families in the country. His proactive approach to identifying and implementing practical strategies has preserved after-tax wealth and ensured business continuation for many entrepreneurs and their families. Rob has practiced estate planning, estate administration, and business succession law for over 35 years. Much of the planning Rob designs for high net worth families is with an eye towards future generations, so that the planning complements the family’s vision of the legacy it wishes leave behind. In this role Rob becomes a family confidant, for both the generation of wealth creators as well as multiple generations to follow. A Chambers High Net Worth (HNW) source commented that Rob’s “experience is impressive,” adding: “I appreciate his results-oriented, but personable approach.” Another comments that “he handles sensitive issues with grace and tact.” And a market commentator adds that “Rob’s precision and application of trust and estates law is unmatched.” Rob is an Accredited Estate Planner (AEP®), a prestigious designation awarded by the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils. Rob’s deep experience is further informed through a Master’s degree in Estate Planning. Also, because he is a member of the bar in Florida as well as Massachusetts, Rob routinely meets the ongoing needs of area “snowbirds” who become Florida residents while maintaining second homes on the Cape. Rob was selected by the editors of Worth magazine as one of the “Top 100 Attorneys” in the country for three consecutive years.
