Most recently, Haranzo was a partner with law firm Wiggin and Dana. He has a 20-year background in the trusts and estates field, having represented high net worth clients internationally.

While Haranzo advises primarily on US law in New York, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and West Virginia, he is also admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales, the firm said.

His appointment is among a number of recent hires by Withers, which also reflects expansion of the firm’s presence in New York.

Withers has offices in New York, New Haven, Greenwich, London, BVI, Geneva, Hong Kong, Milan and Zurich, with over 300 attorneys worldwide.
