Edward Reilly

Counsel

Edward “Ned” Reilly focuses his practice on the representation of families with multi-generational wealth. Ned takes a careful approach to his representation, making certain he addresses the individual’s needs and objectives, as well as those of his or her family. His strong sense of duty to serve his clients reaches beyond immediate concerns and builds for future generations. Ned believes that each relationship starts with understanding what a client needs before deciding a course of action:

“I try to be a counselor. I want each client to talk to me, and I focus on listening to them carefully, asking questions and gaining a complete understanding of where they are, and of their long term objectives. In order to really do what is right, you have to truly hear what the client is saying. This is where the process begins.”

Ned joined Sandberg Phoenix in 2017 after more than three decades of practice with a well-regarded, Clayton, Missouri firm, where he developed a reputation as one of the area’s top wealth planning, trust and estate attorneys.
