The additions bring Sterlington's Private Wealth team, led by partner Daniel Cooper, to 18 professionals, expanding its work advising ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), family offices, and closely held businesses on estate planning, wealth transfer, tax strategy, and succession planning.
Yarberough, a former IRS Office of Chief Counsel attorney, along with Daly and Onufrak, will support the team's work across wealth transfer techniques, estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax planning, income tax planning, trust and estate administration, family business succession, and philanthropy.
"Adding depth at the counsel and associate level lets us move faster for clients without losing the level of attention this practice is known for," said Cooper. "Philip, Cheryl, and Jonathan strengthen a team that's already grown significantly this year, and they'll be central to how we serve our UHNWI and family office clients going forward."
"This continued growth in Private Wealth reflects the momentum we're seeing across the firm," said Christopher S. Harrison, head of Sterlington's Corporate and M&A practice and managing partner. "Dan and his team have built something clients deeply value, and these additions position them to keep scaling that work."
The Private Wealth team is based in Philadelphia and serves clients nationwide.

MIAMI (AP) — Hurricane Polo grew increasingly strong Tuesday and was forecast to gain more intensity as it skirted Mexico's southwestern coast as a Category 5 cyclone, weather experts said.
Polo was an “extremely dangerous” storm with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph (266 kph), the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said in an advisory.
It was centered 205 miles (330 kilometers) south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, and stationary over the Pacific Ocean at midday. The hurricane center said it would send an aircraft into the storm to investigate.
Mexican authorities temporarily suspended classes in a number of areas along the coast as Polo brushed along the coastline. Many residents of the region were on edge this week watching the rapidly intensifying hurricane plow by. In recent years, the Pacific coastal states of Guerrero and Oaxaca have been ravaged by powerful hurricanes walloping the coast, with a number of communities still picking up the pieces.
Heavy rain could produce flash flooding and mudslides. About 3 to 6 inches (8 to 15 centimeters) of rain was forecast for Guerrero and Michoacán states, with smaller amounts possible for coastal portions of Oaxaca, Colima and Jalisco states.
On the forecast track, Polo was expected to remain offshore. Tropical-storm-force winds and rough surf generated by Polo could also affect the coast.
Category 5 is the highest level on the Saffir-Simpson scale, reflecting that the storm’s maximum sustained winds exceed 157 mph (253 kph).
Tropical Storm Odalys was also in the Pacific Ocean but far from land. The cyclone was expected to become a hurricane sometime Tuesday, the hurricane center said. Odalys had maximum sustained winds of 65 mph (105 kph).
In the Atlantic Ocean, Fay weakened to a tropical depression. Maximum sustained winds were down to 35 mph (56 kph) Tuesday and the system was far southwest of the Azores. Forecasters said it would be a remnant low later in the day.
No Atlantic hurricanes have formed yet this year, and this year has set a record for the longest a season has begun without a hurricane. The effects of this year’s El Nino crush storms before they get going.
