Gunster, one of Florida’s oldest and largest full-service business law firms, is honored to share that its Private Wealth Services practice has once again been top-ranked 'Band 1' in the latest 2026 Chambers and Partners High Net Worth (HNW) Guide. This recognition reflects Gunster’s continued success as the go-to firm for ultra-high-net-worth families, fiduciaries, and closely held businesses seeking sophisticated estate, trust, and tax counsel both in Florida and nationally.
Gunster was recognized in both areas of Private Wealth Law and Private Wealth Disputes categories. In addition to the firmwide accolades, individuals ranked include Elaine M. Bucher, Joshua N. Goldglantz, William T. Hennessey, John C. Moran, Louis Nostro, and Lisa A. Schneider.
A client interviewed stated, "Gunster has sophisticated attorneys who have substantial knowledge as it relates to trusts, estates, and tax planning. They are responsive and great partners to work with." Another said, "Gunster is the pre-eminent South Florida private wealth firm. The team is hugely capable."
With over 60 attorneys across our offices around the state and the largest number of Fellows in the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) of any Florida law firm, Gunster’s Private Wealth Services Practice remains committed to providing its clients with the highest standard of service in wealth preservation and business succession planning. Building on this foundation, the firm recently expanded its Family Office & Generational Wealth practice to offer integrated legal counsel to ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices, family-owned enterprises, and their trusted advisors.
Chambers and Partners is a leading independent legal rankings organization that conducts extensive research through interviews with clients and industry professionals. Its High Net Worth Guide, launched in 2016, recognizes top lawyers and advisers serving the private wealth and international private client markets. This top rank is on par with the team's recent 'Tier 1' ranking in the U.S. Private Client Guide by Legal 500.
