Trusts, Estates & Tax Attorney

Managing Partner at Deka Law Group, Inc.

At Deka Law Group, we believe that people are at the heart of every estate plan. That’s why we want to understand every client’s unique story. We view the estate planning process, not as a single task to be completed, but as the first step in a lasting relationship.

Our commitment to creating plans that evolve with our clients’ changing needs is reflected in the way we work. We promote a culture that fosters collaboration, flexibility, growth and social responsibility. We embrace change. We strive for balance in our professional and personal lives, offer remote working options and have no billable hour requirement. By creating a fun and supportive environment where team members are at their best, they can do their best.

We know our team is the foundation of our success, so we invest in our people. We offer an excellent compensation and benefits package and are committed to giving back to our local communities.

Through our Deka Gives program, we have established a charitable giving fund in which our employees serve as the donor advisors and choose the charities we support. In addition, we participate in up to four charity outreach events each year, each of which is no longer than a full workday. All employees are expected to participate in these events. We also expect all of our attorneys to serve on at least one local (i.e. generally within the Downtown Los Angeles, San Gabriel Valley or Conejo Valley) non‑profit board, as well as join at least one professional bar association or similar type of group whose main purpose is to enhance and further develop your expertise in the trusts and estates community.

Deka Law Group is currently seeking an attorney with a minimum 10 years of experience in high‑net‑worth estate planning and trust administration. The ideal candidate will be responsible for the design, implementation and tax analysis of estate and business plans with tax‑sensitive considerations, including irrevocable trusts, business succession plans, real‑estate transfers and charitable vehicles. In addition, the attorney will be responsible for preparing federal gift and estate tax returns and handling audits of such returns.

The preparation of general estate‑planning documents will also be required. An LLM or Legal Specialization in Tax is preferred. Candidates must possess a sense of humor and empathy, as well as excellent analytical and writing skills. Highly proficient computer skills are mandatory, as well as practice management, entrepreneurial and strong business development skills. Competitive salary (range: $190,000 to $230,000). Two office locations in Pasadena and Westlake Village.
