Welcome to the firm of McCarthy Weidler.

I am Gary J. McCarthy, co-founder of this firm. Together with my partner, Rachel Weidler, we established McCarthy Weidler in January 2013. We are proud to introduce McCarthy Weidler to those that may be visiting us for the first time, and re-introduce our Philadelphia law firm to our existing and past clients and colleagues.

Our Philosophy

Over the years, we have sought to create a law firm that provides innovative solutions to complex legal problems. This requires a team that is capable of thinking outside of the box and cultivating creative approaches. We seek to provide our clients with practical solutions to the myriad of challenges with which they are presented. This requires us to stay abreast of changes in the law and create specific strategies for each of our clients. And, of course, we want to ensure that we are providing results. This is the most important part of what defines McCarthy Weidler, and it drives our everyday passion for serving our clients.

Our Skills

I am proud to highlight that our team holds advanced degrees in the fields of taxation. We are skilled in complex tax and estate planning issues and can provide expert counsel to help keep our clients protected.  Whether you are looking to set up a trust for your children, want to protect your assets from potential creditor claus, or need guidance on everyday business matters – we can help.

Although our Philadelphia law practice focuses on the areas of Business, Tax, and Estate Planning, McCarthy Weidler has experience in a wide range of personal and business legal services.  Our cross-disciplinary attorneys are well-versed in multiple areas of law, which allows us to offer an expansive scope of services to suit our clients’ specific needs.

Are You a Potential Client?

You may be wondering what type of clients we deal with. Although our clients span multiple industries and backgrounds, there are a few traits that we typically see in most of our clients. Usually they are closely-held business owners. This means they are business owners that either own their company directly, or are part of a partnership or a small group of owners. These are people who are motivated, entrepreneurial and are hands-on with their businesses. They are dealing with the day-to-day operational work for their businesses and are the driving forces behind their companies. These clients are typically successful, high net worth individuals. They have worked hard to build up their assets, and as such, they may have large tax implications to address, as well as significant assets to protect.

Take a look around our website to learn more about the legal services we offer and the ways we can help you. If you feel like you could be a good fit, please feel free to reach out to us so we can discuss how McCarthy Weidler can best help guide you.

We look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,

Gary J. McCarthy
