Grob has served on the Board of Directors as executive vice president of the firm, as leader of the firm’s top-rated Tax, Trusts and Estate practice group and on various firm committees and project teams. In this new role, he will continue his full-time practice and commitment to the clients he supports and serves. Grob is highly recognized by key national professional rating services for his excellence in all aspects of the tax, trusts and estate planning fields, is a fellow in the American College of Trust & Estate Counsel, a former adjunct professor at Creighton University School of Law and a frequent lecturer on tax, estate planning and other topics.
"I am humbled, and at the same time, very excited to assume leadership of our firm, joined by our strong team of fellow leaders spread across all of our practice areas,” Grob said. "At McGrath North, we focus first and always on supporting our clients’ success, serving them with excellence, creativity, integrity and respect. And to do this, our firm management is firmly committed to continue building a talented, experienced and diverse team of professionals and to support them so they succeed both professionally and personally."
