    Experience

    After assuming representation of one of the executors of the estate of George S. Halas Sr. (founder of the Chicago Bears Football Club) in 1988, Mr. Abendroth successfully resolved several longstanding disputes with claimants and beneficiaries and closed the estate.

    Mr. Abendroth worked with the owners of a privately held company to transfer stock out of their estates as it began to diversify its ownerships and then go public. Through the use of grantor retained income trusts and grantor retained annuity trusts, the owners were able to transfer over $200 million out of their estates.
