Richard J. Miller Jr. Esq.

Rich is a partner in the international law firm of Hughes Hubbard & Reed, LLP.  He focuses his practice on tax, estate and trust planning, administration and litigation, and the representation of cultural institutions. His practice encompasses all matters of sophisticated wealth transfer tax planning, trust and estate administration, and charitable planning for individuals, families, and organizations. Outside the Firm, Rich’s outside interests include music, singing, golf, and the visual and performing arts. He serves on a number of Boards, including as a Managing Director of the Metropolitan Opera, the Rome Chamber Music Festival, the Masonic Medical Research Institute, Chanticleer, and the Bagby Foundation for the Musical Arts.

Rich was diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), in August 2019 after being hospitalized with an acute blood infection that struck without warning. During the dark days of dealing with his chronic disease and the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, he found himself isolated, alone and challenged by the fears and anxiety of liver disease and the need for a transplant. While searching for a support group, Rich found ALF’s website, and licensed social worker, Aimee, who had been facilitating in-person post-transplant support groups prior to the pandemic. Rich credits this support group as one of the reasons he is alive today. On May 31, 2021, Rich received the Gift of Life and has since been living his life to the fullest - doing what he can to express his gratitude. Rich is an avid patient advocate and fundraiser for ALF. He is currently serving as Honorary Committee Chair for the 2025 National Legacy Gala.
