Private Client
The Private Client Department of McDermott Will & Emery is one of the largest and best-known departments of its kind in the United States. The 2006, 2007 and 2008 editions of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business ranked our wealth management practice in the top tier nationwide. While in 2006 and 2007 we were ranked in the top tier along with five and six other firms respectively, in the 2008 edition, McDermott was the only firm in the United States ranked in the top tier. Chambers USA for 2008 stated that their interviewees said “from top to bottom [McDermott] is the most talented firm” in the area of wealth management. We were identified as the leading law firm among privately-held clients, "enjoying an exceptional number of primary relationships, strong 'go-to' status and numerous client recommendations" from private company clients according to the 2005 BTI Power Rankings Scorecard, compiled by BTI Consulting Group, an independent consulting firm. We represent families and individuals, family offices, closely held businesses, foundations, estates, trusts and special purpose asset transfer and investment management entities in the United States and throughout the world, and we provide to them a spectrum of estate, succession, gift transfer and wealth planning services. Our experience covers all significant facets of wealth planning.
