V-Card
Arnold B. Sherman is a member of the firm’s Business/Commercial Transactions, Tax, Retirement Plans, Employee Benefits, Estate Planning and Estate/Trust Administration practice groups. He concentrates his practice in the areas of tax and business planning, and estate planning and probate administration matters. He has extensive experience in negotiating, structuring and documenting business contracts, including real estate acquisition and financing transactions, tax-deferred exchanges and wealth preservation structures.
As a result of his practice in interrelated disciplines, Mr. Sherman can clearly and in plain English explain intricate, and sometimes apparently disparate, concepts to his clients. This permits him to design a comprehensive plan that is understood by the client and which is responsive to the client’s business and, if applicable, personal concerns. His areas of practice and approach to working with his clients have allowed him to effectively advise individuals and closely held business entities on business and succession planning issues as well as to provide counsel to financial institutions and larger business entities in conjunction with their more complex business structures and transactions.
In addition to his legal experience, Mr. Sherman is actively involved in his professional and civic communities. He is a past president of the Estate Planning Council of Suburban Maryland and is currently a member of the Board of Directors and chair of the Financial Aid Committee of the Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy. He also served as president of Young Israel Shomrai Emunah of Greater Washington for three years.
Mr. Sherman received his B.A. from New York University prior to earning his J.D. from the Northwestern University School of Law and his LL.M. in taxation from the New York University School of Law. He is a member of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Pennsylvania bars.
