About
Provided by Thompson Hine LLP
Thompson Hine’s Personal & Succession Planning practice advises clients on business succession planning, fiduciary litigation and other matters, family office services, domestic and international estate planning for high-net-worth individuals, and corporate and private philanthropy. Our practice expanded in 2024 to include team members in Chicago, with the addition of Rima Ports from Northern Trust, and in the firm’s new Los Angeles office (and clients with California matters represented by Mark Conway and Ashley Weyenberg). As illustrated in the expanded client listings, our practice continues to grow in the areas of high-net-worth business succession planning; family office structuring, implementation, and administration; and international estate planning. We continue to focus on highly sophisticated clients who seek modern, flexible, and customized planning solutions. Our work often involves coordinating with other financial, accounting, and legal advisers, and we have established a strong reputation for promoting collaborative relationships with clients and their advisers. The international footprint of our practice continues to expand as we collaborate on estate planning, wealth transfer, and complex tax advice for multinational families. We often partner with financial, accounting, and legal professionals around the world, most recently in Belgium, New Zealand, Austria, France, Bahamas, Brazil, Ireland, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, UAE, and the United Kingdom.
