The Firm
Established 1987. Built on Discretion.
Hamilton & Pierce LLP has served private clients, institutional investors, and corporate principals for nearly four decades. Our practice is founded on a single principle: that the most consequential transactions demand the most rigorous stewardship.
Our History
Nearly Four Decades of Private Practice.
Hamilton & Pierce LLP was founded in 1987 by senior partners with backgrounds in corporate law and private banking. From the outset, the firm focused exclusively on escrow and transaction management for high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients — a deliberate choice that has defined our practice ever since.
Over nearly four decades, we have managed transactions across 14 jurisdictions, representing over $4.2 billion in aggregate transaction value. Our client relationships are long-term by design: the majority of our engagements come from returning clients and direct referrals.
We have never sought scale for its own sake. Our practice remains deliberately focused, allowing us to maintain the standards of discretion and attention that our clients require.
Our Principles
Discretion
We do not discuss our clients, their transactions, or the terms of any engagement. Confidentiality is not a policy — it is the foundation of our practice.
Precision
Every condition, every document, every disbursement is governed by written protocols and independent verification. We do not rely on representation alone.
Independence
We act as a neutral fiduciary for all parties. Our role is to protect the integrity of the transaction — not to advocate for any single principal.
Accountability
All escrow accounts are subject to independent audit. All disbursements require dual authorization. Our records are retained for a minimum of seven years.
Credentials & Standing
