Cheryl Beebe-Snell
Cheryl Beebe-Snell joined Danna McKitrick’s business and personal legal service team in 1983. She primarily works with closely held businesses, both existing and emerging, by coordinating all transactional legal needs of the business. In this realm, she handles special circumstances surrounding business entity formation and the details pertinent to business sales, mergers, or acquisitions by performing thorough due diligence, offer evaluation, and negotiation. In day-to-day operations, Cheryl provides a wide range of services including tax analyses, contract work, and strategic employee benefit scenarios.

With the long-term best interest of business owners in mind, Cheryl employs her wisdom in strategic succession planning (including restrictive transfer agreements) and she establishes long term benefits for shareholders via retirement plans, both qualified and non-qualified, and other means. Her knack for integrating the business owner’s current needs along with his or her long-term objectives, has led to successful outcomes for pleased business owners and their well-prepared successors.

Part of Cheryl’s repertoire is the creation of complex estate plans for business owners and other high net-worth individuals. This is achieved through a variety of legal vehicles often involving gifting and trusts suited for a person’s unique circumstances. She also works in the administration of trusts.

Core to her philosophy of providing proactive rather than reactive legal services is Cheryl’s nature of thinking ahead and planning on behalf of her clients. Her goal is to offer continual assistance toward problem avoidance rather than responding later to unnecessary situations. Her trademark, providing overall guidance to closely held businesses, begins with developing trusting relationships with clients.
