When asked why Cushing decided to go into law, he said:
“I was always fond of games as a child. Law is really just a game with a lot of rules...and once you learn them, you can take advantage of opportunities to accomplish certain outcomes. The tax code is similar, if you know what to do with certain resources, you can transfer them at advantageous rates and avoid tax that might otherwise diminish the value of your estate.”
The ability to master a rule set and apply it to any situation with maximum effect has served Cushing’s career well.
Cushing outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, recognitions, and career longevity. He holds a Bachelor's Degree from Harvard College in Classics, magna cum laude and in 1970, received his J.D. from Harvard Law School, cum laude. He has been featured in over a dozen articles and received multiple recognitions, including being AV Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell, Woodward/White's Best Lawyers in America®, New England Super Lawyers®, Ranked by Best Lawyers in America® and many more. With over 45 years of experience, Cushing is an asset to have in The Expert Network.
As a thought-leader in his industry, Cushing remains focused on how changes in rules are impacting his clients. He noted:
“The biggest trend affecting us is the increasing exemption from federal estate and gift tax. Fewer people are focused on estate tax reduction and more and more are looking at how they should dispose their property. What are the values that they should incorporate in those dispositions? How do you help children best? Do you set up a trust for them, do you set up an incentive for them, do you tell them about the wealth you’re leaving them or do you keep it a secret.”
