Biography
Brandon O’Connor focuses his practice on all aspects of the business life cycle including: entity formation, mergers and acquisitions, business succession planning, commercial real estate, regulatory compliance, employment matters and other general and transactional business needs. He has represented businesses across different industries, including healthcare, agriculture, athletics, fitness and finance.
Brandon also provides estate planning and administration services. His estate planning mentality is to create a comprehensive plan which holistically considers the client’s wishes for the transfer of assets, tax saving opportunities and the dynamics of each client’s family circumstances. Brandon also has experience in administering both simple and complex estates. He can provide counsel to families who need assistance navigating the probate process, identifying the assets and liabilities of their loved ones, and guidance regarding the complexities of Pennsylvania’s inheritance tax and the Federal estate tax.
Both of Brandon’s practice areas often involve real estate transactions, commercial and residential. He can serve as counsel from offer through closing for buyers or sellers, help retitle real estate, and draft lease agreements.
Brandon is a Florida native but has called Pennsylvania home since moving to attend law school at the Penn State Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle. In Law School, Brandon received CALI Award distinctions for receiving top marks in Real Estate Negotiations and Drafting as well as in Electronic Evidence. He was also inducted into Dickinson’s Woolsack Honor Society, reserved for students graduating in the top 15% of their class.
