Robert T. Leahy

Rob joined the firm in 2024, and he focuses his practice on estate and wealth transfer tax planning, and trust and estate administration. Rob also has experience with charitable planning and philanthropic giving for high-net-worth clients. 

Prior to joining the firm, Rob worked in the general counsel’s office at Northeastern University, where he focused on major gifts and grants to the university for sponsored research and similar strategic initiatives.
