Charitable Planning

Charitable planning is an integral part of our Private Wealth practice. A number of the lawyers in our group have in-depth experience in advising clients on strategic planning to accomplish their charitable goals. This might include outright gifts of assets to charity but often also includes sophisticated charitable planning techniques, such as private foundations, charitable remainder trusts, and charitable lead trusts. We have significant experience in major charitable giving projects, including endowing and naming divisions of major educational institutions, endowing chairs at medical institutions, endowing portions of cultural institutions, such as the High Museum of Art in Atlanta and the Atlanta Botanical Garden, and in providing strategic planning for major charitable initiatives.
