Career
Keith focuses his practice on guiding families through generational wealth and well-being planning.
As many of Keith’s high-net-worth clients have closely held businesses and private foundations, he often provides advice on matters relating to these entities, including the transition of a business to the next generation. Keith works with many multigenerational families to preserve their wealth and educate younger family members, including representing family offices.
Keith represents individual and corporate trustees with respect to all aspects of their fiduciary duties and the trust administration process, including trust litigation. He also represents individuals on their rights as beneficiaries of trusts. Keith routinely handles gift and estate tax audits.
In addition to being an elected fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, Keith is a former adjunct professor at the Washington University School of Law, teaching Family Wealth Management I and Family Wealth Management II. He is also certified as a Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP) by the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, an international organization for attorneys and other advisors who focus on family inheritance and succession planning.
