About

Provided by Kirkland & Ellis

By continually finding new and better ways to serve our clients, we’ve established ourselves as the go-to wealth transfer and planning resource for high-net-worth individuals. We are known for our ability to distill sophisticated legal concepts into clear, actionable advice and have pioneered the estate planning practices that lead the industry.

Our Trusts & Estates Practice Group builds innovative, personalized strategies that advance clients’ unique needs and protect their financial legacies. We use the same problem-solving approach to successfully represent public charities and private foundations, and to collaborate across departments with the firm as members of the firm’s interdisciplinary “Private Investment and Family Office Group” on structures involving the formation and integration of family offices in our clients’ overall estate planning strategies.

We work in tandem with clients’ other advisers, such as financial planners, investment advisors, family office managers, accountants and insurance agents, to coordinate our clients’ estate plans with their financial structure.
