Wilmington Trust, part of M&T Bank, has hired Sharon Klein as managing director of family office services and wealth strategies in the New York metro region.

Klein was latterly managing director and head of wealth advisory services at Lazard Wealth Management. She has 20 years of experience in the areas of trusts and estates, and philanthropic planning.

Before her stint at Lazard, Klein headed up the estate advice department at Fiduciary Trust Company International, and served as special counsel within the trusts and estates department at Rosenman & Colin (now Katten Muchin Rosenman).

At the end of February, Wilmington Trust brought in Frederick Hopkins as a Baltimore-based senior relationship manager, as the firm looks to target more high net worth individuals throughout Maryland.

Wilmington Trust’s wealth advisory unit offers trust, financial planning, fiduciary, asset management and family office services to HNW individuals.

Outside the US, the firm has offices in London, Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Dublin, Amsterdam, the Cayman Islands and Channel Islands.
