Private Wealth Law - Missouri
What the Team is Known For
Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner has a strong history in the Midwest, including in St. Louis, for its private client practice. Its team members regularly work with ultra high net worth families.
Strengths
I am very impressed. They are technically very strong and have a lot of experience in managing high net worth and complex multi-generational families.
I think the attorneys at BCLP really know their clients very well. It is not a transactional situation: they are well aware of who the client is and their goals and objectives.
No matter the complexity of our clients' questions or planning, BCLP's attorneys can handle it.
BCLP has a high level of expertise in trust and estates, including a broad range of capabilities from non-taxable estates to the ultra high net worth space.
Notable practitioners
Kathleen Sherby is experienced in handling matters relating to tax, planning for wealth transfers and business succession cases.
The depth and breadth of experience Kathleen has is meaningful. She has technical expertise and the ability to deal with complex clients.
Katleen's knowledge of Missouri statutes is second to none. She is a go-to person for anything very technical. She is my favourite go-to for those kind of cases which are crazy detailed.
Douglas Stanley advises his clients on a broad range of fiduciary, tax, wealth and estate planning matters.
Anne Jump is a partner in the St Louis office of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner. Jump specialises in estate planning work for high net worth clients and charitable trusts and foundations issues.
