Private Client
Legal challenges are best met with knowledge, experience and proven outcomes. Our private client practice is built with one purpose: to serve the needs of your family with our best.
Laurie Murphy is Chair of the Estates, Trusts and Private Client Practice Group, former chair of the Elder Law and Disability Planning Practice Group, and former Vice Chair of the firm’s Business Section. Laurie draws on her 35 years of experience in probate and estate planning, taxation of estates, trusts and gifts, business succession planning, family office support, elder law and special needs planning to skillfully advise families, high net worth individuals and client managers in preserving and positioning assets to fulfill their specific objectives.
By asserting a diverse and comprehensive approach which considers all aspects of our client’s personal and business needs, we are often fulfilling the role of a family’s general counsel. As a trusted advisor, our broad range of service is tied together to solve short-term needs and long-term goals. Excellent legal advice is paramount to succession planning of any type, whether it is asset preservation, business continuity, charitable giving, or transfer of wealth to future generations.
As a full-service firm, our capabilities extend to the most complex concerns of our clients to ensure privacy and discreet solutions.
