Day Pitney's Chambers High Net Worth Recognition Climbs to 22 Attorneys in 2025 Edition

Day Pitney LLP is proud to share that the firm, along with 22 attorneys from its Private Client Department, has been recognized in the 2025 Chambers High Net Worth (HNW) Guide*, reflecting continued growth in attorney recognition from prior editions. Published by Chambers and Partners, this prestigious guide serves the global private wealth market, highlighting top legal professionals who advise high net worth individuals and families. It features comprehensive editorial content on leading firms and practitioners engaged in private wealth planning, estate and trust administration, tax, and related services across key jurisdictions.

The firm ranked once again in the Chambers HNW Guide for Private Wealth Law nationally, and in Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Building on a year of continued growth and strong results, the firm added five attorneys to the rankings and gained recognition in the Florida market. Day Pitney was recognized with Band 1 rankings for its practices in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

With more than 80 lawyers in the firm's Private Client Department, Day Pitney offers one of the country's most expansive private client practices. The attorneys have hundreds of years of combined experience advising individuals and their families on the full spectrum of matters related to private clients. Day Pitney is home to 14 Fellows of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC), a group of peer-elected trust and estate attorneys across the United States and abroad with more than ten years of experience in the active practice of probate and trust law or estate planning. Additionally, the Private Client Department at Day Pitney has been named a repeat winner in the "Best Law Firm – Estates and Trusts" category at the 2025 Private Asset Management (PAM) Awards (click here for PAM methodology). This recognition follows the firm’s 2024 win in the same category, alongside its selection by Family Wealth Report as the 2024 winner in the "Solutions for International Americans" category (click here for FWR methodology). Day Pitney’s Private Client Department was also named the U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers® "Law Firm of the Year" for Trusts & Estates Law in both 2021 and 2022 (click here for U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers methodology).
