The Murray Legacy Group at Morgan Stanley

Whether you're an attorney, corporate executive or business owner, athlete or entertainer, or retiree, our team brings deep experience across a wide range of financial complexities.

We help attorneys navigate the unique financial landscape of legal careers. This includes managing student debt and variable income early on, optimizing benefits, tax strategies, and long-term planning as their careers evolve. We help attorneys prepare for and understand the intricacies of the partner promotion process, and we support those exploring a move to an in-house or government role in making the transition with confidence and conviction.

We help corporate executives make the most of their compensation packages. We provide guidance on equity awards, deferred compensation, stock option strategies, and tax-efficient planning for concentrated holdings.

We help business owners plan for growth and exit. This includes liquidity events, succession strategies, entity structuring, and personal wealth integration before and after a sale.

We help athletes and entertainers manage sudden wealth, build long-term financial security, and plan for life after the spotlight. Our work focuses on budgeting, tax planning, and sustainable lifestyle design.

We help retirees transition into retirement with clarity, confidence, and a plan built to last. We address income distribution, healthcare planning, and legacy goals.

We advise families on estate planning strategies, charitable giving, and the complexities of multi-generational wealth with care and intention.

We help the next generation prepare to take the reins. Our approach includes financial education, values-based planning, and mentorship that meets them where they are.

Our experience runs deep, and our approach stays personal. We're here to guide you with clarity, consistency, and a plan built around your life.

Our team has earned industry recognition for the caliber of our work and the impact we've made on behalf of our clients. We take pride in these accomplishments, which reflect the discipline, care, and consistency we bring to every relationship. They also speak to the high standard we hold ourselves to and the long-term outcomes we strive to deliver.

Credentials matter — especially when your financial life is complex. Our team includes four CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^® professionals and a Certified Portfolio Manager^®, reflecting the depth of our technical knowledge and our commitment to providing an exceptional client service experience.

We also hold advanced internal designations from Morgan Stanley in areas such as financial planning, discretionary portfolio management, estate planning strategies, lending solutions, and executive compensation.

These credentials aren't just letters. They reflect the time, energy, and commitment we invest in our craft. They speak to how seriously we take our responsibility to clients, and our ongoing pursuit of knowledge, excellence, and professional growth. Collectively, they give our clients access to a team that is not only credentialed, but collaborative, thoughtful, and relentlessly prepared.

(You can find each team member's title, credentials, designations, and experience in their individual bio.)

Working with us isn't just about investments. It's about having a dedicated team who can bring structure, perspective, and thoughtful guidance to your financial life.

Beyond the numbers, we can help you avoid costly mistakes, stay aligned with your goals, and free up time to focus on what truly matters: your family, your career, and the legacy you're building.

We strive to bring clarity during periods of uncertainty, reduce the stress of complex financial decisions, and offer perspective when the path forward isn't always clear.

Just as you rely on a doctor for your health or an accountant for your taxes, having a Financial Advisor in your corner can offer a similar sense of direction and stability.

Advice adds value. Not just in performance, but in helping you move forward with purpose and confidence.

Our clients benefit first and foremost from the insight, experience, and personal attention of our team. What sets us apart is our ability to pair that high-touch, personalized approach with the extensive resources of one of the world's leading financial institutions.

Through our relationship with Morgan Stanley, we have access to institutional-grade investment research, comprehensive financial planning tools, a full suite of cash management and lending solutions, trust and estate planning support, and specialized teams across capital markets, philanthropy, and executive services. We also leverage innovative technology to help deliver a seamless client experience — from dynamic financial modeling to secure, real-time reporting.

These capabilities enhance the advice we strive to deliver and help us serve clients with precision, creativity, and confidence — whether you're building wealth, preserving it, or planning your legacy.

These resources are not just available – they are thoughtfully applied. Our role is to help you access the right tools at the right time, and to help integrate them into a cohesive strategy built around your goals. It's how we turn a wide range of capabilities into advice that feels personal, relevant, and actionable.

Managing wealth shouldn't feel uncertain. That's why we follow a disciplined, deliberate process designed to bring clarity and confidence to your financial life.

We begin by listening – understanding your goals, values, and what success looks like to you. From there, we build a personalized financial plan and investment strategy that's comprehensive, diversified, and aligned with what matters most to you.

But it doesn't stop there. We revisit and refine your plan regularly, making adjustments as your life evolves, markets shift, and new opportunities emerge. Through it all, you'll always know where you stand – and why.

This proactive approach helps you stay focused on what matters most, make informed decisions at key moments, and avoid the costly mistakes that come from reactive thinking or short-sighted choices. It's not just about having a plan – it's about having the right plan, backed by ongoing guidance you can depend on.
