Brendan L. Ward

Partner & Chief Operating Officer

Brendan is a Nahant resident and partner at Touchstone Law Offices, where he serves as Chief Operating Officer. A proud graduate of St. John’s Prep in Danvers, Brendan earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of New Hampshire and his Juris Doctor from New England School of Law in Boston.

Brendan focuses his practice on estate planning for modern families—including those with young children, same-sex couples, and next-generation leaders—as well as trust and estate administration. He also represents buyers and sellers in residential real estate transactions. His work is informed by a deep understanding of probate practice and asset protection strategies.

A committed student of his craft, Brendan invests significant time in ongoing professional development. He participates regularly in national coaching groups and mastermind sessions with leading estate planning attorneys, and is constantly engaged in advanced training on the latest estate planning techniques and tools.

In addition to his legal work, Brendan is deeply involved in community service across the North Shore. He currently serves as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors for both LifeScene (formerly Family & Children’s Services of Greater Lynn) and the Lynn Boys & Girls Club, and sits on several steering committees at the Essex County Community Foundation. His past leadership roles include President of the Copley Society of Art Circle, Chair of the Town of Nahant Advisory & Finance Committee, and board positions with Greater Lynn Senior Services, the Lynn Home for the Elderly, and the local nonprofit 01908.

Brendan’s practice is rooted in the belief that great planning is practical, clear, and built around the real lives of real people.
