Sheppard’s Private Wealth and Fiduciary Litigation team includes some of the nation’s most successful trial lawyers, litigating high-stakes, multijurisdictional and international cases. We represent clients in significant private wealth matters and actively influence fiduciary law through advocacy, scholarship and legislative contributions. Our litigators have won some of the most significant cases in court involving private wealth disputes. We litigate cases in jurisdictions across the country, as well as cases that are multijurisdictional and international in scope. We represent clients in cases involving claims of breach of fiduciary duty, fiduciary misconduct and fraud, misfeasance and malfeasance in estate administration, investment mismanagement, financial elder abuse, and will and trust contests. While our reputation in court is second to none, our imprint in the private wealth field is not limited to the courtroom. We counsel clients in strategies to avoid disputes both during the estate planning process and in the process of administering estates. With our early guidance, clients are better positioned to minimize the risk of litigation and unnecessary costs by understanding how initial missteps in estate planning or administration might lead to future disputes in court.
