Gunster, one of Florida’s oldest and largest full-service business law firms, is proud to announce that its Private Wealth Services practice has again secured the highest possible ranking—Band 1—in the latest 2025 Chambers and Partners High Net Worth (HNW) Guide. The honor reinforces Gunster’s position as the go-to firm for ultra-high-net-worth families, fiduciaries, and closely held businesses seeking sophisticated estate, trust, and tax counsel.
Gunster remains the sole Florida-focused firm to obtain Band 1 rankings in both the Private Wealth Law and Private Wealth Disputes categories. In addition to the firmwide accolades, five Gunster shareholders earned individual rankings: Elaine Bucher, Joshua Goldglantz, William T. Hennessey, Louis Nostro and Lisa A. Schneider.
A client interviewed stated, "They work with ultra high net worth clients on complicated matters both in planning and litigation for probate. The team is responsive, thoughtful, thorough and provides good drafting and advice." Another commented, "Gunster can handle everything from planning to advanced litigation, trusts and estates as well as corporate administration and real estate. They have one of the top estate planning teams in the state."
With over 60 Private Wealth Services attorneys and paraprofessionals throughout Florida, and the largest number of Fellows in the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) of any Florida law firm, Gunster has established a reputation as the premier firm in Florida for wealth preservation and business succession planning.
Chambers and Partners, an independent UK-based research organization, produces annual rankings based on thousands of in-depth interviews with clients, peers, and industry professionals. The HNW Guide, established in 2016, is a publication specifically aimed at the private and international wealth industry.
