Michael Wilson Mills

Mike Mills is devoted to helping businesses build and preserve value, and helping individuals preserve and protect their family wealth. In representing businesses, this includes counseling clients in connection with business formation, financing, reorganization, and acquisition transactions, as well as business succession planning. With individual clients, this includes assistance with core estate planning documents (such as Wills, Revocable Trusts, Powers of Attorney and Living Wills), special needs planning, charitable giving, and the use of sophisticated trust strategies. Foundational to this mission is his concentration in the area of taxation, which impacts so much of business and personal financial planning.
Mike has a broad range of experience in addition to private law practice, which allows him to bring a unique perspective to our clients. He holds a CPA certification, and began his career in public accounting, with Deloitte, and later with BDO. Mike’s CPA background along with his Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation give him great depth, not only in negotiating and navigating complex business transactions, but also in creating tax savings opportunities and in developing solutions to tax problems. His understanding of and respect for the accounting profession allow him to team up very effectively with our clients’ CPAs.
Mike spends a significant amount of his time involved in estate planning and administration matters. Not surprisingly, much of that time is spent working with family businesses, helping to preserve and protect their value. This very often includes a focus on management and ownership succession issues, and associated personal estate planning for family business owners.
