About Jane Peebles

Karlin & Peebles is a boutique firm with a predominantly private client practice. Our senior lawyers have spent many years working at large firms and the goal is to provide large firm quality of service in a small firm where clients can be given a full measure of personal attention. Our firm has been named to the 2022 list of “Best Law Firms” by U.S. News & World Report and is ranked as a Tier One firm in Los Angeles for both Trusts & Estates Law and Tax Law. My practice is dedicated to representing domestic and multinational high-net-worth individuals and their families with respect to all aspects of gift, estate and generation-skipping wealth transfer tax planning, trust and estate administration, and charitable planning. I establish and represent private foundations, public charities and other types of tax-exempt organizations and I am highly regarded internationally for my expertise in cross-border philanthropy. I work very closely with my clients to help them meet their personal estate planning goals and minimize the impact of various taxes while fostering family harmony. We work with clients’ existing professional advisors and our firm is connected with a network of advisors across the globe. As a result, we can marshal a wide variety of resources to meet the most complex needs. Learn more about our firm at
