Why

TORCH

LAW?

1

For most of our clients, TORCH is where the business office meets the family office.

When we integrate business and personal counsel for trust, taxation and succession, it produces financial efficiencies.

2

Substantially all of our clients scattered across the globe are UHNW.

They find our value-add to be our command of financial complexity particularly with international and multibusiness considerations.

3

Our practice has grown to include an inexhaustibly diverse roster of clients and industries.

So no matter where you’re coming from or where you’re trying to go, we’re ready.

4

Our values. We’re direct but discreet, always family first, compulsively honest and loyal, and predictably rigorous.

Our client engagements are multi-generational in duration and scope.

5

We have an irregular attention to and retention of detail.

For some reason, if we read or learn something about your family or your business we retain it indefinitely. Try us 🙂

6

Because we authentically care, we’re on call for our clients.

We outwork just about everyone in any time zone.

7

We’re incurably creative. Why use a cookie cutter when you can innovate?

Our work, our solutions are as original as our clients.

8

This is all we do. After 25 years of a deeply focused practice, we’re a quick study of the complex.

We take pride in finding answers before others have spotted the questions.
‶Look no further. He will listen and he will execute in a way that gets you the result you need.″

Reviews

The success and satisfaction of our clients is paramount. Here’s what a few of them have to say about working with us.
He adds so much more value than what we pay him.
I’ve grown my business significantly since 2009 and it’s a direct correlation to Phil. And I’m happy! Phil is a big part of that.
He’s my inner circle. I tell him my deepest worries, and he advises me as a friend, as a lawyer, as a business owner. I trust his insight and perspective across all of those.
He’s a great lawyer. And he’s also a great partner.
Extremely successful people are often wary of being exploited, as they should be. But they trust Phil.
His law practice is an art not a science.
‶He keeps me safe.″
