Overview

The practice

Engage on this matter

Substantial wealth raises questions that ordinary legal practice does not address — succession across multiple jurisdictions, the structuring of family holding arrangements, the use of trusts and foundations, and the discreet handling of matters that families wish to keep within a small circle of trusted advisors. The firm's private clients practice operates with the confidentiality and judgment these matters require.
