Ashley adds unique and valuable experience to the practice, having spent nearly six years with the national office of a Big Four accounting firm in the international high-net-worth private client group in Washington, D.C. She is recognized in the national legal community for her work on sophisticated tax and wealth planning matters for ultra-high-net-worth executives, investors, and family business owners.
