If you are someone who thrives on research, prides yourself on accuracy, and sees technology as a tool to drive legal excellence - you will find a home here.

This position also includes a potential partnership track for candidates who demonstrate strong leadership, legal mastery, and alignment with the firm's mission.

• Active licensed attorney
• Minimum of 10 years' experience in Estate Planning and Estate Administration
• Highly experienced in estate plan drafting, with strong knowledge of best practices
• Comfortable reviewing and refining complex legal documents prepared by others
• Experience with Irrevocable Trusts is a plus
• Embraces technology to enhance legal accuracy and workflow efficiency
• Detail-oriented, systems-minded, and passionate about getting things right the first time
• Strong research skills with a genuine enjoyment of technical legal work

Responsibilities

• Conduct thorough legal research and provide clear, actionable guidance on technical legal questions
• Review and quality-check estate planning documents prepared by our drafting team and attorneys
• Maintain and enhance our legal infrastructure as we expand our service lines
• Draft legal opinion letters and guidance memos
• Collaborate closely with attorneys and the drafting team to ensure consistency and accuracy across all legal documents
• Use modern legal tools and resources to enhance accuracy, streamline processes, and support compliance workflows

Who Thrives Here

• Detail-focused attorneys who see legal practice as both an art and a science
• Professionals who enjoy building systems and solving complex legal puzzles
• Attorneys who appreciate a structured yet forward-thinking environment, where precision and innovation go hand in hand
• Someone who enjoys seeing their impact - ensuring our clients' plans are sound, accurate, and fully compliant
