Private Wealth Law

Friday, Eldredge & Clark provides sophisticated estate and wealth planning counsel to high-net-worth individuals and families, business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, investors and fiduciaries. Our Trust & Estate attorneys advise on complex estate plans, wills and trusts, lifetime gifting, estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer tax planning, charitable giving, asset protection and family business succession. The team also guides executors, trustees and beneficiaries through probate and trust administration, fiduciary matters, tax compliance and trust and estate controversies. For family and closely held businesses, we develop succession and ownership-transfer strategies designed to preserve wealth and business continuity across generations. A distinguishing strength is the practice’s depth in taxation. Friday has more than 30 tax attorneys, most of whom hold an LL.M. in Taxation, allowing our Trust & Estate team to integrate sophisticated tax planning with clients’ personal, business, philanthropic and legacy objectives.
