About Andrew J
Andrew J Thompson has spent more than four decades moving between tax practice, corporate roles and private legal work. He began his professional life in accounting and tax, then moved into law and wealth advisory roles. The result is a career that threads through public service, corporate management and client-focused legal practice.
He entered the professional world in 1985 as a tax advisor at KPMG Peat Marwick. That early work gave him grounding in tax rules and compliance. In 1990 he listed himself as a lawyer, operating as Andrew J Thompson, Lawyer at Law. That step marked a shift from advising on tax matters to practicing law directly.
In 1995 Thompson took a position as a private wealth advisor at Interbank Trust Services. The role brought him closer to high-net-worth clients and to the practical side of estate and asset management. Four years later he moved into an organizational legal role, becoming Director of Legal, Estate & Asset Services at the American Cancer Society. There he combined legal counsel with oversight of estate and asset programs for a large nonprofit. The position required coordination across legal, financial and operational teams.
In 2004 Thompson added corporate leadership to his résumé when he served as president of Elusen Corp. The company role was a departure from pure legal practice. It exposed him to governance, executive decision-making and the responsibilities of running an enterprise. In 2009 he returned to a law-centered practice as the lead lawyer at Thompson Law Office, a firm bearing his name.
Thompson’s work spans tax advice, estate planning, wealth advisory services and corporate legal matters. He has moved between advisory roles and positions that required direct management of legal and asset programs. That breadth means he has handled both transactional work and organizational legal oversight. He is known for combining technical knowledge of tax and estate rules with practical experience in advising clients and managing programs.
As of 2026 he practices at Thompson Law Office. His work involves estate planning, tax-related matters and wealth transfer for individuals and families.
