“Despite their fame and fortune, when it comes to estate planning, some get it right while others leave behind legal nightmares. Please join The Winston-Salem Estate Planning Council at Forsyth Country Club for dinner and a presentation by Christopher "Chris" Genheimer, Esq. Chris will present on some real life examples from the rich and famous on why estate planning is critical for everyone—no matter your net worth.

Chris Genheimer is a member of the Carruthers & Roth business, tax and estate planning practice where he works with a wide variety of individuals, high net worth families, entrepreneurs and closely-held family owned businesses. He focuses on helping clients with all aspects of forming, operating and transitioning family owned and closely held businesses, with an emphasis on buying and selling businesses. Chris also assists clients with estate planning, estate and trust administration and business succession planning.

Chris has experience advising individuals and businesses on obtaining Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) status, such as Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) certification and Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) certification. He is often asked by the attorneys in his department and across the firm to help clients navigate the complex rules and requirements of the certification process.

Before turning to law, Chris worked in research, product development and project management in the biotech industry. He has authored dozens of scientific journal articles and book chapters and is a co-inventor of two patented biotech developments. Chris actively leverages his analytical research skills honed over years in R&D to address his client’s day-to-day legal needs.

When not advocating for his clients, Chris enjoys traveling with his wife and two children and spending time outdoors.
