About The Position

These are law firm trusts & estates attorney roles focused on estate planning, probate, fiduciary litigation, elder abuse litigation, family office advisory work, wealth transfer planning, and sophisticated high-net-worth client representation. The opportunities range from mid-level associates handling sophisticated estate planning work to senior litigators and partner-level attorneys managing high-net-worth client relationships and complex multi-generational wealth structures. The roles require licensed attorneys with substantive trusts & estates, probate, fiduciary litigation, or wealth planning experience, and strong drafting, advisory, litigation, or client counseling skills. Candidates must be comfortable working directly with high-net-worth individuals, fiduciaries, families, and closely held business owners. These roles are not suitable for general litigators without trusts & estates exposure, transactional attorneys without private wealth or fiduciary experience, candidates without substantive drafting or client advisory experience, or those with only high-volume consumer estate planning backgrounds.
