  • Strategic thinker with a client-first mindset and refined interpersonal skills.

  • Impeccable writing ability, capable of producing customized and highly technical legal documentation.

  • Strong analytical foundation with an eye for nuance in estate tax structures and multi-generational planning.

  • Proven ability to maintain confidentiality and sensitivity in client matters.

  • Comfortable working independently as well as part of a cross-disciplinary team.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive compensation with the potential for growth based on client development.

  • Participation in a 401(k) plan with firm contributions.

  • Financial support toward health and dental insurance premiums.

  • Short- and long-term disability insurance coverage provided.

This is an exclusive opportunity for a forward-thinking attorney to deepen their private client practice while joining a respected legal team that values entrepreneurial drive, technical excellence, and a personal touch.
