December 10, 2025. Buchalter is pleased to announce that Elizabeth Glasgow and Jennifer Van Duzer have joined the firm’s Los Angeles office as Shareholders. Glasgow will serve as the national Co-Chair of the firm’s Trusts and Estates group, representing the estate planning practice. She will serve in the role along with current Chair, Gordon Stuart, representing the fiduciary litigation practice.
“Elizabeth and Jennifer are strong additions to the firm, and we are thrilled to welcome them,” said Adam Bass, President and Chief Executive Officer of Buchalter. “Their exceptional experience in estate planning and tax matters enhances our existing capabilities and strengthens our ability to deliver sophisticated wealth planning and trust administration services to high-net-worth individuals and families.”
Glasgow brings extensive estate, tax, fiduciary, and philanthropic planning experience from her tenure as a Partner at McDermott Will & Schulte. A nationally recognized speaker on advanced wealth transfer techniques, she has been consistently ranked as a leading attorney in California by the Chambers High Net Worth Guide based on her deep technical expertise and her reputation for thoughtful, strategic counseling to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families. Glasgow is also a fellow in the prestigious American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC).
“I am excited to join Buchalter in a leadership role,” said Glasgow. “Working alongside Jennifer in Los Angeles and the firm’s talented team nationwide, I look forward to expanding our private wealth capabilities while continuing to serve my clients as a trusted advisor.”
Van Duzer joins Buchalter from a successful trusts and estates practice representing owners of closely held businesses, real estate investors, and members of the entertainment industry.
“Buchalter’s exceptional attorneys and nationwide reach made this an ideal opportunity for my clients and practice,” added Van Duzer. “I look forward to growing the firm’s Los Angeles trusts and estates practice with Elizabeth and collaborating with the many distinguished attorneys in our group.”
The addition of Glasgow and Van Duzer marks another milestone in the rapid growth of Buchalter’s Trusts and Estates group, which welcomed two new shareholders in Chicago earlier this year.
Stuart notes, “Elizabeth and Jennifer’s deep experience with complex wealth transfer strategies adds further depth to our team as we continue to grow. I look forward to their contributions and to Elizabeth’s partnership in the continued expansion of our national practice.”
