Enhancing their private wealth division, Cadwalader brings on a new expert recruit

Matthew Sperry, a renowned specialist in complex international tax, trust, and estate planning, has joined Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft as a partner. Sperry's arrival is expected to strengthen the core practice and enhance service across corporate, tax, real estate, and regulatory teams within the global law firm.

Sperry previously worked at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, and before that, at Katten Muchin Rosenman. In his new role, he will be based in Cadwalader's London and New York private wealth practice.

Sperry's extensive experience and reputation are expected to provide significant value to the firm's clients. He specializes in handling complex tax issues for ultra-high-net-worth clients interacting with the United States. These cross-border matters involve wealth succession, asset-holding structures, and family governance arrangements, all aimed at minimizing global tax concerns.

One of Sperry's notable achievements is the design of family trust structures optimized for global taxation challenges. He has also advised family offices, trustees, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals on cross-border matters.

Pat Quinn, managing partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, expressed his delight at welcoming Sperry to the firm. Robert Lawrence, senior counsel in Cadwalader's private client team, is equally pleased to have Sperry as a colleague. Sperry himself expressed his gratitude for joining a firm with an outstanding global reputation in private wealth matters.

While the article does not specify any changes Sperry's arrival will bring to Cadwalader's private wealth practice beyond enhancing service and strengthening the core practice, it is clear that his expertise will be a valuable addition to the team. It is also unclear what geographical scope Sperry's clientele will cover in his new role at Cadwalader.

Despite the lack of specific details, Sperry looks forward to working with his new colleagues at Cadwalader. He has a track record of advising global ultra-high-net-worth clients on investments in the United States, and it is anticipated that he will bring this experience to his new role.
