Robert Malin joined Martin, Tate, Morrow & Marston, P.C., a Memphis law firm, on Oct. 1, 2026, as a senior attorney in its private wealth practice. Based in the Nashville/Murfreesboro area, he returns to private practice after serving as senior vice president, fiduciary counsel and trust market leader at Pinnacle Financial Partners, where he led the bank’s largest trust office.
“Rob brings more than 15 years of experience in trust law, estate planning, and wealth management to Martin Tate,” said Matt Gabriel, firm president. “Rob is a highly regarded estate planning specialist whose knowledge and leadership in that area of law makes him a perfect fit at Martin Tate.”
“A good estate plan should account for the possibility that life will take a few liberties with the instructions,” Malin said. “Serving as attorney to Pinnacle’s trust department gave me a close view of how plans hold up over time. That experience shapes the advice I’m bringing back to private practice.”
Malin advises individuals, families and business owners on estate planning, business succession and wealth transfer, and counsels banks, corporate trustees and other fiduciaries on trust administration and fiduciary matters.
Malin holds an LL.M. in Taxation from the University of Florida and earned his J.D., magna cum laude from the University of Memphis. He is an estate planning legal specialist in Tennessee, holds an AV Preeminent rating and is admitted to practice in Tennessee and Mississippi.
