The practice was opened in McLean in 1990 by William A. Conway, Esq., following twenty years as a financial advisor and as principal of the brokerage firm he founded in 1971. The office has increasingly focused on total family and multi-generational planning, including business succession, ongoing care for those with special needs, and asset protection. Conway coined the term Family Bank Trust for an irrevocable trust that allows families to make gifts up to five million dollars in a lump sum or in increments over the lifetime of the trustmakers. The firm's trademarked C.A.R.E. Program supports clients through review, education and support as needs and laws change. Its Estate and Trust Administration Team works with successor trustees to carry out a trustmaker's legacy, whether or not the trust was drafted by the firm.

The office sits on Whittier Ave, about 0.1 miles from Fairfax County Fire Station Number 1, McLean, Old Dominion Drive, the Bryn Mawr neighborhood and Bryn Mawr Park. Chain Bridge Road is roughly 0.2 miles away, as is The Old Fire House community center.

Clients describe the firm through a 5.00 rating, and its long-standing relationships with client families, their families and trusted advisors reflect how it approaches planning across generations.
