About
Who We Are
The Private Client Law Firm combines tax minimization, business planning, succession planning, and asset preservation to optimize results for each client — with a consultative, integrative approach that sees the whole picture.
A Different Kind of Law Firm
The Private Client Law Firm was founded on a straightforward premise: clients deserve more than isolated legal advice on individual issues. Too often, single-issue solutions fail to accomplish larger objectives — an estate plan that ignores tax consequences, or a business structure that creates unintended inheritance problems.
At TPCLF, we first seek to fully understand each client's current individual circumstances. Based on that knowledge, we work in collaboration with our clients, their existing advisors, and our strategic relationships to identify all planning needs. Only then do we design and implement the customized, integrative plan that properly meets the client's objectives.
Our consultative approach is focused on achieving tax minimization and asset protection in order to provide effective retention and transfer of assets — domestically and across borders, and across generations.
What Sets Us Apart
-
Integrative Planning
We bridge the gap between the legal and accounting worlds, coordinating estate, tax, and business planning into a single coherent strategy — not fragmented advice from multiple advisors.
-
Client-First Collaboration
We work alongside each client's existing financial advisors, CPAs, and corporate counsel, ensuring every element of their financial life is working in concert toward their goals.
-
Cross-Border Capability
With deep knowledge of both domestic and international estate and tax law, we serve clients whose lives and assets span multiple jurisdictions — from U.S. expats abroad to foreign nationals with U.S. holdings.
-
Long-Term Relationships
Estate and tax planning is not a one-time event. We maintain ongoing relationships with our clients, reviewing and updating plans as tax laws change, families grow, and financial circumstances evolve.
