Boston, MA, September 14, 2026 – Rubin Rudman is pleased to announce that Karen D’Antuono has rejoined the firm’s Trusts & Estates Department as a partner, where she will continue to advise high-net-worth individuals and families on developing and implementing sophisticated estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax plans. She joins the firm from Fiduciary Trust Company, where she served as Vice President and Trust Counsel.
