A great deal has happened since 1908 when Danforth Ainsworth and Charles B. Sullivan decided to join forces and form a law partnership now known as Ainsworth Sullivan.

Today, Ainsworth Sullivan is a full service law firm located at 320 Great Oaks in Albany, New York. The firm is currently staffed by 6 attorneys admitted to practice in all New York State counties and federal courts, including The Supreme Court of the United States as well as the courts of New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Florida, California, and the District of Columbia.

Meeting the needs of business owners

The purchase and sale of a business is an important transaction that requires compliance with numerous laws and regulations. The appropriate selection of a business entity, be it corporation, partnership, or a limited liability corporation, partnership, or a limited liability corporation, requires a consideration of numerous factors, such as limitation of liability, control, management, accountability, and tax issues. Ainsworth-Sullivan represents individuals and business enterprises, guiding them through the imposing network of laws and regulations.

Meeting the needs of the elderly

For many people, a simple will may no longer perform the comprehensive task of passing one's wealth to the next generation, while at the same time avoiding excessive taxation and the claims of medical care providers. The probate process can be a difficult one without experienced counsel. Ainsworth Sullivan maintains a considerable presence in the Surrogate Courts of many upstate counties and has helped many families with the process of transmitting wealth from one generation to the next.
