What's Happening?
Sterlington PLLC has recruited Alexandra Buckingham as a partner in its private wealth practice in Philadelphia. Buckingham joins from Morgan Lewis, where she advised ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families on wealth transfer techniques, estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax planning. Her move reunites her with three former Morgan Lewis partners who joined Sterlington's private wealth group in August.
Why It's Important?
Buckingham's recruitment is a strategic move for Sterlington, enhancing its capabilities in private wealth management. Her expertise in advising high-net-worth clients is expected to bolster the firm's offerings in estate and tax planning. This development reflects the competitive nature of legal practices specializing in wealth management, as firms seek to attract top talent to better serve affluent clients and expand their market share.
