The latest senior moves in the North American wealth management sector.

McDermott Will & Emery
International law firm McDermott Will & Emery has added three people in its private client practice group: partner Anita Rosenbloom, counsel John Kiely in New York, and partner Jay Scharf in Miami. 

They joined from Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, where Rosenbloom served as chair of the Private Client Services Group.

Rosenbloom has significant experience representing multigenerational privately held businesses. She is experienced in the technical and practical issues that arise when structuring and implementing estate and business plans, negotiating real estate and other business transactions, managing private funds and other investments and, when disputes arise, facilitating consensus and conflict resolution often on a tax-favored basis. She also has substantial experience in estate and trust administration and represents fiduciaries in transactions involving the estates and trusts of decedents, counsels with respect to fiduciary matters, and advises on probate proceedings, estate tax reporting and audit matters.

Kiely advises high net worth individuals and families on wealth management matters, including wills' preparation, revocable trusts, spousal lifetime access trusts, grantor retained annuity trusts, life insurance trusts, qualified personal residence trusts and domestic asset protection trusts. He also represents beneficiaries and fiduciaries in connection with trust and estate administration and litigation. 

Scharf advises HNW individuals, families and family offices on developing customized strategies. His practice involves trust and estate administration, advising clients on all aspects of IRS and state tax compliance with respect to trusts and estates, including the preparation of federal and state estate tax returns, and defending clients in estate and gift tax audits.
