Two years after merging, Laird Norton Wealth Management and Wetherby Asset Management are uniting their six offices under a new brand: Laird Norton Wetherby or LNW

The wealth management firm, with more than $14 billion in assets under management, has offices in Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

The firm model combines ownership between the family enterprise The Laird Norton Co. and active employees.

“LNW is a distinctive wealth advisory relationship, one that combines the intimacy needed to be a true partner to our clients with the scope and scale to serve families and individuals across the country,” said Kristen Bauer, LNW’s CEO.
