Elizabeth Harvell joins Chuhak & Tecson as an associate in its Estate Planning & Asset Protection practice

Chuhak & Tecson, P.C. proudly announces that Elizabeth Harvell has joined the firm as an associate in the Estate Planning & Asset Protection group. She brings with her a breadth of experience in family law to the trusts and estates space, allowing her to guide clients through prenuptial agreements and the thoughtful updating of estate plans following divorce or other major life changes.  

Harvell comes to Chuhak & Tecson after practicing for five years at a Chambers Band 1-ranked matrimonial law firm in New York City, where she represented high-net-worth individuals, athletes and public figures with complex asset portfolios and multifaceted business and family concerns. This experience informs Harvell’s current work, as she understands the critical importance of thoroughness, collaboration and discretion when protecting her clients’ assets and advancing their interests in estate planning matters.

Lindsey Paige Markus, leader of Chuhak & Tecson’s 25-attorney Estate Planning & Asset Protection group, says that Harvell’s experience working with high-net-worth clients has provided her with valuable perspectives about what it takes to effectively serve and represent such individuals.

“Elizabeth has a very personable and intuitive approach that helps her develop strong client relationships and obtain a full appreciation of the things that matter to them, the issues that concern them and what they want to achieve in their planning,” Markus says. “Those same attributes also allow her to seamlessly coordinate her work with business valuation analysts, family offices, corporate counsel and accountants who play key roles in her clients’ estate planning and asset protection efforts.”

Harvell graduated from Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where she received degrees in Philosophy and English Literature with honors and distinction. She earned her law degree from New York Law School on a full-tuition, merit-based scholarship and served as editor of the New York Law School Law Review and vice chair of the Moot Court Association.
