Ali S. Ahmed

Ali is an attorney in Taft’s Chicago office and assists business owners and high net-worth individuals with tax-advantageous estate planning.

He respects the personal nature of his practice, beginning every engagement by understanding the client’s financial goals and objectives and appetite for risk. Ali formulates customized options, communicating the associated risks, rewards, costs, and complexities of each so clients can make informed decisions.

Ali balances client objectives by implementing structures that optimize tax benefits while maintaining flexibility, access, and control among the client and the client’s family. He incorporates provisions that reinforce and preserve clients’ values and legacies for their children and future generations, in a manner often unrelated to tax concerns.

He earned his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Wisconsin Law School and his bachelor’s degree, cum laude, in finance from Elmhurst College.
