About Us

Driving Excellence with true Experts to create unmatched Experiences

The Private Client Global Elite is an exclusive membership community for peer-selected private client lawyers who represent the world’s wealthiest individuals and families. We have two decades of experience in connecting these advisors to befriend and learn from one another, develop their international networks, and to build their firm’s profiles in the wider world of international wealth management.

History

In 2003 The International Private Client Forum was created in order to bring together renowned international private wealth lawyers from around the world to discuss topics of the day and advance external relationships in the pursuit of greater referrals with reliable individuals.

Two decades after the first International Private Client Forum, these attendees have maintained and strengthened their friendships and connections, and are consistently looking to diversify their network.

In 2015 we launched a directory to highlight the top 250 private client advisors.

In 2019, Private Client Global Elite membership group was created with the intent to bring together the right people in the right places at the right time, with more regular contact than the single event in November. The backbone of the membership is regular contact to facilitate, foster and deepen these personal connections between our members, while also giving them key tools to stay on top of the broad trends and big changes in the industry.

In 2024, we have three Signature Events, seven exclusive membership exchanges, members from 40 jurisdictions, both a women’s and a rising leader’s network, and a series of celebratory dinners, drinks and an annual general meeting.

The Private Client Global Elite is an exclusive group for the most respected private client and private client dispute lawyers in the world.
