Global Law Firm with a Boutique Feel | Multiple U.S. Locations

Our client, a global law firm with a boutique feel , is seeking to add a Partner or Partner Group to its market-leading Private Client practice in the United States.

  • Probate, estate administration, and trust management
  • Planning for vulnerable persons and mental capacity issues

  • Strong client relationships among high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families.
