With one of the nation’s largest private client practices, Holland & Hart helps clients protect their wealth through proactive planning.
We provide strategic estate and wealth transfer planning, trust formation and administration services, and related litigation support to individuals, families, private business owners, fiduciaries, and charitable organizations.
Our talented team of attorneys, paralegals, and in-house CPAs works closely with high net worth individuals and their advisors to identify their family and business objectives. We then craft and implement innovative strategies to transfer wealth to future generations in a manner that preserves capital, minimizes tax exposure, achieves management succession, and promotes family harmony for multiple generations.
We frequently work with clients to meet their philanthropic objectives in a tax-efficient manner, whether domestically or abroad, by incorporating charitable giving into their estate plans, establishing and administering family foundations, and advising on income tax issues related to desired charitable gifts.
Should a dispute occur, Holland & Hart’s trust and estate litigators have substantial experience representing both fiduciaries and beneficiaries in will contests, estate disputes, and high-stakes and multijurisdictional estate litigation. We regularly advise fiduciaries in undisputed trust administration and estate administration actions.
Entering into or ending a marriage requires specialized expertise for high net worth individuals with complex wealth management plans. Our team offers a suite of holistic family law services, from negotiating sophisticated pre-marital agreements to facilitating parental rights, to navigating every facet of a divorce. We understand the interplay of processing emotions and the need to make strategic decisions that impact an individual's and family's personal and financial future. Practical, creative, and compassionate, our team strives to resolve disputes on the most amicable terms possible to avoid the stress, cost, and inflexibility of court litigation; yet we are fierce courtroom advocates when needed.
