Ulmer & Berne LLP has experience in a broad range of trust litigation, from the straight-forward to the complex. We have honed our skills representing institutional and individual trustees as well as trust beneficiaries in disputes in federal and state courts and arbitration proceedings.
As a trustee, it is critical that you have counsel experienced in advising you on fiduciary and contractual duties. As a beneficiary, you need counsel who can guide you in interpreting complex, and sometimes arcane, trust documents and their appropriate modern-day analysis. We have a team of seasoned litigators who, with the assistance of our probate, ERISA, and estates practitioners, are well equipped to provide advice and representation in all these areas.
