A Different Kind of Attorney
Experience That Goes Beyond the Law
Before earning his law degree, Aaron Lee Shaw spent over two decades as a corporate executive — navigating complex financial decisions, leading organizations, and understanding firsthand the intersection of business, family, and legacy. That experience shapes everything he does as an attorney.
Holding both an MBA and a JD, with advanced education in Estate Planning, Elder Law, and Healthcare Bioethics & Policy, Aaron brings an unusually broad foundation to his practice. He has served as a university professor, published author, and public speaker — and he approaches every client engagement with the same intellectual rigor he brings to the podium.
At Shaw Private Client, the work is personal. Aaron takes a counseling-first approach — getting to know each client's family dynamics, financial picture, and long-term goals before a single document is drafted. Every plan is written by Aaron himself. No templates. No associates. No shortcuts.
Licensed in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana, Aaron serves clients throughout the greater Louisville and Cincinnati metropolitan areas, with a particular focus on families and business owners who want a trusted advisor — not just a transaction.

How We Work
The Shaw Private Client Approach
We believe great legal work starts with great listening. Here's what sets our practice apart.
Counseling First
Every engagement begins with a thorough conversation. Attorney Shaw takes the time to understand your family, your finances, and your goals before recommending any course of action.
No Templates. Ever.
Every document is personally drafted by Attorney Shaw. Shaw Private Client is not a will mill — you will never receive a fill-in-the-blank form dressed up as a plan.
Plain-Language Guidance
Legal jargon serves lawyers, not clients. Aaron translates complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance so you can make confident, informed decisions.
Business-Minded Perspective
With over 20 years in the corporate world before law, Aaron understands the intersection of business, finance, and family in a way few attorneys can.
