Anna Lantelme has over a decade of experience as a trusted advisor to clients in estate planning, trust administration, and charitable giving, in addition to all types of tax-exempt, charitable organization clients which she helps guide through complex issues related to their operations and governance.
Anna prides herself on being thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely interested in resolving each client’s needs, with an uncanny ability to help her clients feel at ease and well informed despite dealing with a complicated legal matter. She has a knack for remembering details and the resulting work product reflects the unique nature of each client.
For her estate planning clients, Anna’s congeniality shines. She believes that “everyone needs a good estate plan,” and she works with clients at a wide range of income and net worth levels, from doctors and homebuilders to the “middle wealthy” and beyond. Her practice focuses on issues related to real estate investments, inherited family assets, generational asset planning, charitable giving, and marital and cohabitation agreements. She’ll also laugh if you tell her your plan is “simple,” because “plans involve people, and people are rarely simple.”
Anna’s extensive knowledge of the world of tax-exempt organizations is well respected and appreciated by clients, including both private foundations and public charities. Anna represents a variety of nonprofit clients on the uniquely complex rules of governance, operations, and maintenance of their tax-exempt status, including many donor-advised funds, community foundations, and the delicate interplay between them and the donors that support them.
Before joining Harrison LLP, she worked with large, international law firms, including BakerHostetler and Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (formerly Bryan Cave). She was recognized among the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America in 2021.
Anna is a native of North Carolina and moved to Colorado after law school where she coincidentally met her fellow N.C. native husband. You’ll most likely find them outside, hiking to some magical alpine lake (since 14ers are too crowded), with their kids in hiking carriers and large “supermutt” dog by their side, or riding solo through her favorite tree runs on her well-seasoned snowboard.
