Private Client and Family Office

For more than a century, Pillsbury has discreetly served as trusted counsel to some of the wealthiest individuals in the world—testament that time may change the form, but not the substance, of excellence.

Pillsbury guides clients to confidently and successfully navigate complex, continually changing laws, as they forge their legacies through the accumulation, preservation and transmission of wealth. We deliver perspective, protection, partnership and sage advice through a distinguished tradition of service.

Our Private Client & Family Office practice is intentionally small to offer our clientele a boutique and customized experience. At the same time, our clients have access to all the exceptional resources a global law firm can offer, with service capabilities in all major legal disciplines and geographically from the U.S. and Europe to Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. We tailor bespoke solutions for each client, based upon a comprehensive understanding of needs, expectations and objectives, and whether the client is an investor, entrepreneur, family or private office, charitable foundation, trustee, sports and entertainment professional, investment fund manager or corporate executive. We also understand the nuanced relationships between business and family, which are often subtle yet complex.

Our Private Client & Family Office practice is unique for its range of tax acumen combined with exceptional estate, generation skipping transfer (GST) and gift tax advice. The Private Wealth team also works closely with other attorneys at Pillsbury, who offer guidance in transactional business matters, as well as litigation and dispute resolution, in a host of private client-focused specialties, including artwork and collectibles, wine and wineries, foundations and philanthropy, direct investment, campaign finance, residency, real estate, and international tax advice.

As trusted advisors, we have developed generation-spanning relationships with our clients. We forge strong lines of communication with other trusted advisors in accounting, banking, investment and insurance, as well as our clients’ other partners, such as offshore and onshore administrative service providers, private investment funds and trust companies. In addition, with Pillsbury’s proprietary back-office services, our clients’ matters undergo continuous review by professionals sensitive to discovering tax, accounting and insurance risks and opportunities on a real-time basis.
