Fiduciary Litigation and Trusts & Estates Teams Receive Top Rankings in Chambers High Net Worth 2019

Awards & Honors

Lane Powell’s Fiduciary Litigation and Trusts & Estates Teams, as well as Gary Kirk, Sarah MacLeod, Gail Mautner, Mary Lee Moseley, Heidi Orr and Chuck Riley, were ranked in Chambers High Net Worth 2019 in the area of Private Wealth Law for Washington.

Described as a “go-to firm for estate planning,” the teams were recognized for their work advising high net worth clients in complex trusts and estates matters, including generation-skipping trusts, as well as wills, tax issues, prenuptial agreements and dispute resolution. The teams received strong praise from many of the leading investment management firms, financial institutions and fiduciaries in the region.

During the research process, Chambers & Partners received comments regarding the practice, including the following:

  • One says that they would use the firm “for any of my complicated or high-value estates,” and another describes their overall experience of working with the firm as “really positive.”
     
  • “Overall, I'd put Lane Powell at the top of my list,” says an interviewee, adding: “Whenever I get an opportunity to make a referral, I do.”

Chambers & Partners’ sources also shared the following commentary regarding our attorneys:

  • One source touted Kirk’s technical expertise with regard to tax law and estate planning as “probably the best that I've seen of any attorney I've ever worked with.”
     
  • Sources described MacLeod as “one of the best-educated on the technical aspects of estate planning,” adding “she's highly motivated, precise and careful in her advice.”
     
  • Mautner was described as “one of the best litigators in the state,” and another recalls that, in a recent contested matter, "she blew my socks off."
     
  • One source said Moseley “hits it on all fronts — emotional intelligence, technically bright,” and that there’s no “client situation I would hesitate to introduce to her.”
     
  • Orr was recognized for her reputation handling complex estates, with one source stating, “I have clients who are amazed with some of the work she produces — they ask me, ‘How has she achieved that?’”
     
  • Riley was recognized as “one of the veterans in the field,” and for his experience working with “the biggest, most high-value families in Seattle” on complex trusts and estates matters.
