Firm Overview:

One of the nation’s premier law firms, Choate has chosen to be distinctly different in a number of important respects from the firms with which it competes. The firm believes those differences materially benefit clients. Like a handful of leading Wall Street firms, Choate conducts its national and international practice through a single office model. The firm is all under one roof. Lawyers know each other well and work in teams every day. That familiarity, proximity and continuity allows them to communicate quickly, share knowledge easily and respond to clients’ needs not just efficiently, but seamlessly and immediately.


Wealth Management:

Our service begins with understanding each client’s unique goals and objectives. For more than one hundred years, Choate Hall & Stewart has provided a comprehensive range of customized family office services to multi-generational families, wealthy individuals, and entrepreneurs around the world. Beginning with seeking to understand each client’s unique goals and objectives, our distinctive approach places lawyers at the helm of our client service teams, bringing our tax-focused expertise to bear on all aspects of a client’s financial life.


Our deep experience in serving as fiduciaries and maintaining a sophisticated legal practice enables us to share insights with our clients that distinguish us from other family office providers. When we work with a client to develop a strategy and design a plan, unlike other firms serving high net worth families, our Family Office Services Group can also prepare the necessary legal documents in-house. As a result, we are better able to ensure that our clients’ goals are being accomplished.


Committed to our clients’ specific interests and needs, we tailor our services to each particular family. Clients make use of our suite of capabilities based on their particular needs, including best-in-class legal advice, widely recognized professional trust services, exceptional independent investment management, and our highly-experienced trust administration, charitable foundation management, estate settlement, and tax services.
