Private Client Global Elite Rising Lead 2023-2024 Logo
2 Jan

Jennifer V. Abelaj, Esq., CPA was named as a Rising Leader of the Private Client Global Elite Directory for 2023-2024, for second year in a row.

We are pleased to share that Jennifer V. Abelaj, Esq., CPA was named as a Rising Leader of the Private Client Global Elite Directory for 2023-2024. This is the second consecutive year that Jennifer V. Abelaj, Esq., CPA was included in this distinguished list of global advisors.

The Private Client Global Elite Directory was created with the awareness that referrals and recommendations are absolutely key to the private client sector. To know that someone is an excellent technical practitioner is not enough, it is integral for the maintenance of client relationships that the advisors you refer to your clients are good personality fits and masters of communication.

As such, rather than a listing of private client lawyers as chosen by a third party, these are the best Rising Leaders as chosen by their peers in the industry.

In the News: Jennifer V. Abelaj, Interviewed by US News, published online August 26, 2021

Jennifer was interviewed by US News about the (cumbersome) process and status of remote notarization in New York State.

During the Covid-19 pandemics, many states (including New York and New Jersey) enacted temporary measures allowing remote notarization and signing of estate documents. Unlike other states, New York no longer allows remote notarization or signing of estate documents.
