Kleinberg Kaplan Recognized in Chambers High Net Worth 2026

Premier boutique law firm Kleinberg Kaplan announced that it has earned its first-ever Band 1 ranking for the “Private Wealth Law: Mid-Market – New York” category in the 2026 edition of Chambers High Net Worth.

As part of the editorial research process, Chambers spoke with industry leaders and clients who described the firm as having “a superb team of private wealth lawyers with technical strength” and praised its lawyers as “efficient, thorough and creative when advising clients on strategies to develop and implement their estate plans.” Another source noted that the firm’s approach is “consistently strategic, collaborative and commercially focused,” highlighting its “strong cross-border coordination” and “impressive understanding of the intersection between US trust law, international taxation and wealth planning.”

Trusts & Estates practice chair Jeffrey Kolodny (Band 1) and partner Joshua Kaplan (Band 3) were again both recognized as leading lawyers in the category. Clients noted that Jeff is “a top-notch lawyer who cares about the work he produces,” and “shows excellent commercial awareness and strategic vision, always approaching matters with the client’s best interest in mind as if it were his own business.” Joshua was praised as having “an incredibly broad base of knowledge” and being “able to communicate issues in a clear fashion, especially to non-lawyers.”

For decades, Kleinberg Kaplan has been guiding high net worth individuals, their families and their businesses through the complexities of estate planning, family office matters and philanthropic giving. Because the firm’s capabilities evolved alongside its fund and corporate practices, it is intimately aware of how personal and business decisions interact with and reinforce one another across generations.

Chambers bases its rankings on extensive market research into the strengths and reputations of U.S. attorneys and law firms and is widely considered to be one of the most reputable law firm directories in the world. Interviews are conducted with clients and attorneys across the nation to enable Chambers to assess technical legal ability, client service, commercial astuteness, diligence, commitment and other qualities most valued by legal clients.
