Unveiling the Faces Behind Roots and Wings Legal Excellence
Yuki Ku Esq.
Founder, Legacy Engineer™ & Attorney at Law
Yuki Ku is the founder of Roots and Wings Legal™ and the visionary behind The Legacy Studio™. Inspired by her personal experience of loss and guided by her faith, Yuki is passionate about helping families protect what matters most while creating legacies that reflect their values and purpose.
Her career began in corporate law, where she worked on Mergers & Acquisitions and Venture Capital deals at top firms like Covington & Burling LLP and K&L Gates LLP, advising Fortune Global 500 companies on headline-making transactions. She later served as the head of legal for a Silicon Valley tech company recognized as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential Companies.
Yuki’s journey took a transformative turn after the sudden loss of her father, which left her family unprepared for the emotional and financial challenges that followed. This deeply personal experience ignited her passion to help families avoid similar struggles and honor their legacies with intentional planning.
Drawing from her corporate expertise, Yuki serves as a “General Counsel for Legacy” for families and family enterprises. Much like a general counsel navigates complex legal and strategic issues for a company, Yuki helps families address intricate legacy challenges—aligning wealth, values, and relationships to preserve harmony and impact for generations.
By combining her corporate background with a mission-driven approach, Yuki creates multigenerational strategies that empower families, inspire future generations, and ensure legacies of purpose, stewardship, and lasting impact.
