LAS VEGAS, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP further expanded its Private Wealth Services Practice with the key addition of Of Counsel Jennifer M.K. Willis in the Las Vegas office.
Willis focuses her practice on the creation of, administration, and litigation surrounding trusts and estates. She has deep experience assisting high-net-worth individuals with estate planning, trust and probate administration, and related litigation, offering clients skilled guidance in the transfer and management of their assets. Willis further offers counsel on business succession planning, charitable gift and estate tax strategies, and guardianship administration.
"Jennifer's creativity in handling complex estate planning and litigation matters is truly remarkable," said Michael J. Bonner and Jim Mace, co-managing shareholders of the firm's Las Vegas office, in a joint statement. "Her ability to navigate intricate legal issues and offer innovative solutions makes her an invaluable asset to our team and our clients."
Willis's broad understanding of the estate planning legal landscape – especially in Nevada, a favorable jurisdiction for trust administration – allows her to advise institutional trustees on jurisdictional changes that benefit the trust while maintaining the intent of the original document. She joins the firm from Hutchison & Steffen, a Nevada-based law firm.
Greenberg Traurig has grown its Private Wealth Services Practice exponentially in recent months, adding a five-attorney group in San Diego led by Shareholders Michelle Graham, Rebecca O'Toole, and Catherine Swafford; Chair of the Tax-Exempt Organizations & Philanthropy Practice Erika Mayshar, who is based in both the Orange County and Los Angeles offices; and, in addition to its western offices, the firm has also added a three-attorney team led by Shareholders Brian G. Smith and Caitlin C. Fitzsimons in New York.
"Greenberg Traurig has an unparalleled support structure built into its global platform, reinforced by a talented team," Willis said. "I am committed to providing our clients with strategic advice to help them navigate the complexities of estate planning and litigation, ensuring their wishes are honored and their families are protected."
Willis holds a J.D. from Boston College Law School and a B.S., magna cum laude, from the University of Utah. In addition to Nevada, she is admitted to practice law in California and Utah.
