2025 Chambers High Net Worth Guide Recognizes Bilzin Sumberg for Excellence in Private Wealth Law
Miami, FL – Bilzin Sumberg’s Tax & Private Wealth Group has once again secured its position among Florida’s elite law firms, earning top-tier recognition in the 2025 edition of Chambers High Net Worth, a globally respected guide to the leading professionals serving high-net-worth individuals and families.
Cited for its “considerable experience acting for international clients and on matters with complex cross-border issues,” the Group continues to set the standard in sophisticated tax and estate planning. The practice is widely recognized for its ability to navigate the legal and regulatory complexities facing global families, private businesses, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
This year, Bilzin Sumberg is proud to announce that four of its Tax & Private Wealth partners — Richard M. Goldstein, Jennifer J. Wioncek, Hal J. Webb, and Shawn P. Wolf — have been recognized in the 2025 edition, underscoring the firm’s continued leadership in complex cross-border tax planning, estate structuring, and private wealth management.
Richard Goldstein, Chair of Bilzin Sumberg's Tax & Private Wealth Group, advises ultra-wealthy clients and their closely held businesses on complex estate and income tax planning. Many of Richard’s clients are extraordinarily successful entrepreneurs whom he has counseled for years, supporting the growth of their businesses. He advises ultra-high-net-worth individuals, closely held family businesses, multinational entities, and non-resident aliens on U.S. income and estate tax planning, with particular strength in advising foreign investors with inbound U.S. structures.
Jennifer Wioncek, Practice Group Leader for Tax & Private Wealth, was lauded by a Chambers source as their “go-to person in Florida” for high-net-worth matters, citing her strength in technical issues and creative problem-solving. Jennifer has deep experience advising domestic and international clients on estate and succession planning, international tax reporting and compliance, expatriation, pre-immigration tax strategies, private trust company structuring, and investment structuring for real estate and other assets.
Hal Webb, Head of the International Private Client Services team, earned recognition for his leadership in advising some of the world’s wealthiest individuals, family offices, and fiduciaries on international tax and estate planning. A Chambers source said, “Hal has great vision and a commitment to serve. He is brilliant and the best adviser I have.” With over 25 years of experience, Hal counsels clients across Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean, Canada, and the Middle East on global strategies for wealth planning and to maximize tax efficiencies.
Shawn Wolf’s clients praise his rare combination of deep technical knowledge, practical judgment, and extensive experience navigating complex cross-border matters. Former Chair of the Tax Section of the Florida Bar, with decades of experience, Shawn advises high-net-worth individuals, families, and closely held businesses on the full spectrum of U.S. and international tax, estate, and pre-immigration planning. He is particularly adept at finding nuanced solutions balancing U.S. federal tax laws with non-U.S. tax laws to assist international high-net-worth individuals in structuring sophisticated domestic and offshore trusts and entities. His strategic counsel is trusted by clients around the world seeking comprehensive, compliant, and forward-looking wealth planning solutions. A Chambers source noted Shawn as “an excellent, well-centered professional.”
Chambers’ recognition reinforces Bilzin Sumberg’s standing as a premier Florida-based law firm with national and international reach in the private wealth space.
