TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To better serve baby boomers preparing for retirement as well as millennials seeking wills, Tempe-based Guidant Law Firm merged with Mesa-based Brown & Jensen. Shad Brown and Scott Jensen join the firm as partners, bringing extensive experience in estate planning, probate and tax law that complements Guidant’s existing practices serving businesses, individuals and families.
“Guidant clients appreciate our multi-disciplinary approach addressing the wide range of legal challenges they face. Adding Shad and Scott to the team improves our ability to meet rising demand for estate planning services,” said Sam Saks, partner at Guidant. “At the same time, Brown & Jensen clients can now receive guidance on everything from bankruptcy, personal injury and real estate to corporate law, commercial litigation and intellectual property.”
With more than 2.5 million Arizonans over age 50, demand for estate planning services is strong. Moreover, according to Caring.com, the number of adults under 35 with a will increased 63% since 2020, demonstrating an opportunity to guide millennials as they begin to accumulate wealth.
Additionally, the merger brings deep expertise in tax law. Brown previously served as an Internal Revenue Service attorney, which benefits clients in tax planning, as well as support with IRS audits and appeals, payment plans and debt settlement.
“Proactively planning helps individuals and businesses reduce tax liability, protect assets and secure their financial future,” said Brown. “Every tax situation is unique, and Guidant’s understanding of how tax cases work from both sides helps clients minimize costs and avoid tax problems.”
Guidant now has 13 practice areas across 10 locations in Arizona and another in Nashville, Tenn. The headquarters will remain in Tempe, and satellite offices will be maintained throughout the Valley, Tucson, Payson and Show Low.
