A prominent Florida law firm is expanding its offerings in the private wealth services sector by adding a new hire in that area of expertise.
Officials with Gunster law firm, which has several offices across Florida, say they’re beefing up their wealth services sector by hiring attorney Andrew Nerney. He’ll work out of Gunster’s Boca Raton office.
Nerney has more than a decade of legal experience. His focus areas include estate, tax, business succession, and asset protection planning. He’s overseen work that includes drafting estate plans. He’s also well-versed in handling tax-exempt organizations and trusts. He has additional experience in various other tax issues and has served as an adviser on estate and trust administration, charitable giving, and domicile planning.
Gunster has been expanding its private wealth services after receiving high rankings in the Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide. The firm also has the most representation among Florida law firms in the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, a national legal organization for wills, trusts, estate planning, and tax laws.
Nerney earned a master’s of law degree focusing on taxation from Georgetown University Law Center, his law degree from Quinnipiac University School of Law, and his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Florida in the Tampa area.
Gunster was founded in 1925 and has grown to 12 offices across Florida. The firm has more than 300 attorneys and 290 other professional staff members. The National Law Journal ranks Gunster among the county’s top 500 largest law firms, and Law360 notes it among the Top 100 Diverse Law Firms.
While the firm has offices throughout Florida, it’s still headquartered in West Palm Beach.
