Senior Associate Attorney
Senior Associate Attorney
I’m available for speaking engagements for client seminars, community groups and professional organizations.
Anthony Khatchoui is a senior associate attorney with the New York City office of Pierro, Connor & Strauss, LLC. Mr. Khatchoui’s practice focuses on preserving generational wealth for high-net-worth individuals by minimizing or avoiding gift, estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes. Mr. Khatchoui regularly reviews clients’ existing estate planning documents and prepares detailed proposals outlining sophisticated estate planning techniques that would enhance their plan by producing a more tax-efficient transfer of wealth. He is also responsible for drafting clients’ estate planning documents and creates custom flowcharts to illustrate how seemingly esoteric techniques form a cohesive strategy for the benefit of loved ones.
As a new parent himself, Mr. Khatchoui is passionate about helping families with their initial set of estate planning documents. He regularly drafts revocable living trusts, wills, irrevocable life insurance trusts and ancillary documents for new parents as well as for seasoned parents who are at or near retirement. He successfully completed a document execution without waking the clients’ sleeping newborn that was also in the conference room, a first for the firm’s New York City office.
Prior to joining Pierro, Connor & Strauss, LLC, Mr. Khatchoui was a senior associate at Clark & Gentry, P.L.L.C., a boutique law firm that focused on estate planning, corporate transactions, and the formation of captive insurance companies for high-net-worth individuals.
Mr. Khatchoui received his B.A. summa cum laude from Binghamton University and his J.D. cum laude from Boston University School of Law. He was a Paul J. Liacos Scholar with a second-year cumulative grade point average in the top ten percent, and an Edward F. Hennessy Distinguished Scholar for having a third-year cumulative grade point average in the top fifteen of students. He also received the Dean’s Award in the course, Mutual Funds.
Prior to graduating law school, Mr. Khatchoui interned for Hawkins, Delafield & Wood LLP where his research was incorporated in the firm’s amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States in the case, Kentucky v. Davis.
