Senior Attorney

We are building an estate planning powerhouse. We need an experienced attorney with leadership qualities to lead the department, oversee the systems that allow us to scale, and drive the firm’s growth. If you are a builder who wants to own a department rather than drafting documents and dealing with clients, this is the role for you.

We are seeking a senior estate planning attorney with 5+ years of experience to take ownership of our estate planning practice. This is not a role for someone who wants to sit on the sidelines. You are the leader of this department, responsible for installing the systems that allow us to scale, managing the team, and driving the firm’s growth. If you are a high-level strategist who wants to build something meaningful and get paid for the growth you create, let’s talk.

  Take charge of strategy sessions with prospective clients. Your goal is to identify their needs, explain their options clearly, and recommend solutions that build lasting trust.

  Manage the entire client experience. You ensure every client receives white-glove service from the moment they walk in until their plan is signed.

  Oversee the preparation of all estate planning documents, including trusts, wills, health care directives and powers of attorney. You will delegate drafting tasks while maintaining high quality control standards.
• Scale and Innovate:
  Identify new service offerings to meet client needs and increase revenue. You will hire, mentor, and develop a team of attorneys and paralegals to help us scale without sacrificing quality.

• A compassionate, client-first approach and the ability to explain complex legal concepts in plain language

• Own the Department:
  You are not a cog in a wheel. You manage the entire department, including the systems and processes that drive our success.
• Marketing Engine:
  We do not expect you to hunt for clients. We have the leads. You focus on the high-level strategy and client conversions while we keep your calendar full.
• Focus on Law, Not Admin:
  We run a volume model that doesn’t sacrifice quality. You have the support staff to handle the case load so you can focus on the legal strategy and client relationships.
