Mr. Beslow is a graduate of Yale University (B.A. 1969), Columbia University School of Law (J.D. 1972), and New York University School of Law (LL.M. in Taxation 1977). He was admitted to the Bar of the State of New York in 1973 and the Bar of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in 1977.

From 1972 through 1979, Mr. Beslow was associated with Davis Polk & Wardwell, concentrating his practice in the area of trusts and estates, including estate administration and estates litigation. In 1980, Mr. Beslow started his own practice, concentrating in the area matrimonial law.

Mr. Beslow continues to concentrate his practice in the areas of matrimonial law and family law. His clients cover a wide range. Many of his clients or their spouses are in the areas of business, investment banking, asset management, and the law. Some are in films and other arts. Some work inside their homes, bearing primary responsibility for child rearing.

Mr. Beslow has purposefully limited the infrastructure of his practice so that he can personally participate in and devote his time and energy to every phase of each client’s matter in order to help achieve the optimal result in the most effective and cost-efficient manner.

Although the majority of Mr. Beslow’s clients reside in the State of New York, Mr. Beslow has represented clients in other jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, California, Kentucky, Idaho, the District of Columbia, Minnesota, Florida, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey. He has litigated matrimonial cases in jurisdictions outside New York and has been admitted pro hac vice to the Bars of California, Kentucky, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

For a more in-depth insight into Mr. Beslow’s approach to the practice of matrimonial law and into Mr. Beslow himself, Mr. Beslow invites you to focus on his “self interview,” as well as two links within the “Media” section of this website:

1. Mr. Beslow’s 2002 interview by the Chai Society at Yale University [described by The New York Times as "an 'intellectual forum for blacks and Jews at Yale'" and co-founded by Cory A. Booker, now Mayor of Newark, New Jersey] as part of the Society’s “oral history” of the life of Jews at Yale, through the experiences of 300 Yale graduates (including Senator Joseph Lieberman, Yale University President Richard Levin, and Henry Winkler [the "Fonz"]);
