Attorney James Kane’s combined tax, trust, and litigation experience gives him a broad perspective for identifying, understanding, and addressing complex trust issues and disputes along with both the tax and non-tax factors that ideally must together be taken into account. He has 25+ years’ experience previously with Atlanta law firms Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan and Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry. James attended Emory University Law School and has undergraduate finance (University of Georgia) and graduate business (Georgia State University) degrees. Although he never worked as a CPA, James held a CPA certificate (now intentionally lapsed) during his pre-law school time with the IRS.  

James maintains a legal blog (google: James Kane Legal Blog) and currently writes periodically for Leimberg Information Services. He previously has written for Estate Planning magazine, Virginia Tax Review, Emory International Law Review, and other publications. James was the winner of the University of Miami 2016 Heckerling Institute Tax Court Opinion writing contest. James’s outside interests include studying jazz guitar, reading, weightlifting, and fixed-gear bicycling.
