Experts Matter

We have recently gathered together a knowledgeable and amazingly talented group of subject matter experts from information security and technology leadership to family governance and education. 

We are fortunate to call these individuals close advisors. In addition to our Founders' expertise, our advisors' collective knowledge and perspective are woven into everything we do, directly benefiting our clients.

Today, we are pleased to introduce Robin Letchinger who is currently the Chair of Family Enterprise Practice at Croke Fairchild Morgan & Beres.

She has made an immediate impact, and we look forward to garnering more of Robin’s sage advice in the coming years.

Robin has years of experience focused on family businesses, family enterprises, and family offices. As general counsel for a multigenerational family holding company with multiple subsidiaries across North America and Australia, Robin developed a keen awareness of the hard and soft issues challenging multigenerational families, providing strategic solutions that balanced business, personal, and tax goals. Previously, she served six years as a member of the company’s board, ultimately chairing its compensation committee.

"[leafplanner fills] a void in the world of family succession"

When asked about leafplanner, Robin stated, “Josh Kanter is equal parts smart, thoughtful, and integrous. So when he first shared with me in 2019 his concept for what would become leafplanner, I knew he was onto something that would fill a void in the world of family succession. I am fortunate to be a part of the leafplanner journey, and what I expect will be its impact on every family’s uniquely quintessential information.”
