Chambers and Partners has again recognized McGuireWoods as one of the top private wealth services firms in the United States in its High Net Worth Guide. McGuireWoods earned a nationwide ranking — as it has each year since the guide’s 2016 inception — and ratings for Virginia, North Carolina and the District of Columbia.
Chambers also selected partners Michael Barker, Benjamin Candland, Jean Gordon Carter, Kristen Frances Hager, Meghan Gehr Hubbard, Michele McKinnon, William Sanderson and Gino Zaccardelli for individual honors. Carter and McKinnon again earned Band 1 state rankings, the highest Chambers awards. The firm also received a Band 1 state ranking in Virginia.
Clients quoted by Chambers lauded the firm’s private wealth services team for its depth, broad-based capabilities and attention to detail.
“From seasoned partners to extremely bright associates, McGuireWoods has a wealth of experience and a broad base of top-notch attorneys,” one client said.
Another added: “I am impressed with McGuireWoods’ resources and problem-solving skills for issues requiring innovative and creative solutions. I have never had to call twice to get a response from our attorney.”
McGuireWoods’ private wealth lawyers advise high-net-worth clients, nonprofits, fiduciaries and businesses in tax and wealth planning and are influential voices in shaping U.S. tax policy.
“Our private wealth services group sets the standard for client service excellence,” said Gerald V. Thomas II, chair of McGuireWoods’ Tax & Employee Benefits Department. “The Chambers rankings demonstrate how much clients value our team’s experience and insight.”
Stephen Murphy, leader of the firm’s private wealth services group, added: “McGuireWoods has a longstanding reputation as a leader in private wealth law and we are proud that Chambers again recognized our lawyers for the results they deliver for clients.”
