The organization is continuing to take lawyers and others from Morgan Lewis, a rival law firm in Philadelphia.

Sterlington, a law firm, has continued to bring in figures from rival Morgan Lewis as it builds its private wealth group.

A few weeks earlier, other figures from Morgan Lewis went over to Sterlington.

Alexandra Buckingham has joined as a partner, alongside Daniel Cooper, partner and head of Sterlington’s private wealth practice; partner Emalee Welsh, deputy head of the practice; and partner Daniel Carmody. 

Buckingham advises ultra-high net worth individuals and families regarding sophisticated wealth transfer techniques, estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer tax planning, income tax planning, trust and estate administration, family business succession, and philanthropy.

In addition to four partners, associates Cordelia Ochis, Cody Witmer, and Melissa Bressler; senior estate and fiduciary accountant John Birkmire; and estate administration and tax paralegals Allison Tyler and Colleen Flynn, as well as support staff, have joined the team. 

The recent arrivals complete the significant move from Morgan Lewis to build the 15-member Private Wealth team. The team is also actively recruiting to strengthen its growing practice, it said.

The private wealth team, which is based in Sterlington’s new Philadelphia office, will also serve clients through Sterlington’s New York office.
