Laird Norton, Wetherby Merge to Create $15B Wealth Group

The recently combined family- and employee-owned company will continue to do business with both the Laird Norton Wealth Management and Wetherby Asset Management names. Its services include impact investing, private equity and other alternative investments; trust services and multi-generational estate planning; philanthropic advising; family business and real estate advisory services; and financial and tax planning.

It's "rare to find a firm that is both a trust company and an RIA that has been doing it for more than half a century with the backing and expertise of a seventh-generation family enterprise," said Wetherby, in a statement. "We built WAM to be a trusted partner to our client families for generations, and there's no better partner for our future than a firm that brings generations of experience to the table."
