How deep is the private client and estate planning talent pool in St. Louis?
St. Louis supports a meaningful concentration of estate planning counsel, particularly at the senior level, where practitioners often combine trust administration, tax planning, and business succession work. We map 100+ lawyers across this practice in the market, which allows us to identify realistic lateral targets rather than relying on who happens to be actively looking.
What makes recruiting estate planning lawyers in St. Louis different from other markets?
The St. Louis private client bar is relationship-driven and relationship-protective — practitioners tend to have long-standing client ties and move infrequently. Successful recruiting here depends on understanding those dynamics in advance, knowing which practitioners are open to a conversation, and approaching them in a way that respects the discretion the practice demands.
Can Sartori & Partners help us find a private client lateral without disrupting existing client relationships?
Discretion is foundational to how we work in this practice area. We conduct all outreach confidentially, never naming the searching firm until a candidate has expressed genuine interest. Our mapping of 100+ St. Louis estate planning lawyers means we can identify candidates whose book and client profile align with your firm's needs before any conversation begins.
