Private Wealth Law

About

Provided by Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP

Sheppard Mullin’s Private Wealth Disputes practice includes some of the most successful trial attorneys in the country in disputes over private wealth, most notably involving trusts, decedents’ estates and conservatorships or adult guardianships. Our litigators 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. Our attorneys have won some of the most significant cases in court involving private wealth disputes. Our team litigates cases in jurisdictions across the country, as well as cases that are multi-jurisdictional and international in scope.

Our attorneys do much more than litigate, however. We counsel clients in strategies to avoid disputes both during the estate planning process and in the process of administering estates. We help clients to stave off the threat of litigation and the expense involved by advising them at the outset on how early missteps can play out in court.
