"Accolades such as this highlight our team's deep bench of talented attorneys known for delivering exceptional service to ultra-high-net-worth clients around the world. Our attorneys offer industry-leading counsel tailored to matters ranging from personal, business, and estate planning to administration and litigation."

Citywealth's Magic Circle Awards, presented in London, recognize the achievements of wealth managers and advisors in the international private wealth industry, particularly those who invest money with charities, private families and foundations.

Over the past few years, Katten has consistently received top honors in the Law Firm of the Year – USA category, specifically in 2019, 2020, and 2022. In 2021, the firm was awarded the silver accolade. Additionally, Katten was previously honored in the International Law Firm of the Year category from 2019 to 2023. Rubenstein, Katten's Private Wealth practice leader, was recognized in 2021 as Lawyer of the Year.

The Magic Circle Awards are based on nominations demonstrating innovative client service, firm performance, leadership and vision, among other areas. The entries were evaluated by a judging panel of private wealth advisors and included online voting.

With that, Citywealth is delighted to present the best of breed for 2024," said Karen Jones, founder, CEO and editor of Citywealth.
