Will Estate Planners Join the “Thousand Dollar Bar”?

A recent report reveals that lawyers in several New York law firms (e.g., Simpson Thacher & Bartlett; Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft; and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson) are now charging $1,000 per hour for their services.

I wonder if any estate planners have joined the ranks of these attorneys.
