Hi, I’m Christi Madrid, a private client attorney and entrepreneur focused on private asset protection, estate planning, and multigenerational wealth stewardship. Founder of Balthazar Law, a Sarasota-based practice serving clients internationally who value discretion, intentionality, and enduring family legacy. I offer knowledgeable insight on bespoke legal structures designed to preserve, protect, and transfer family wealth through the fourth generation. I have decades of firsthand experience as a founder, operator, negotiator, and seller of privately held businesses, and I am passionate about protecting the wealth women build—in capital, family, and legacy—and ensuring it is thoughtfully preserved with intention.
