Trusts & Estates Partner

About the Role

Join a national private wealth and family office practice as a partner-level trusts and estates attorney. You will advise high-net-worth clients on sophisticated, multi-jurisdictional planning and help grow a collaborative practice supported by colleagues across complementary legal disciplines.

What You'll Do

• Lead and grow a partner-level trusts and estates practice.

• Advise high-net-worth individuals and families on complex estate, gift, and wealth transfer planning.

• Structure and advise family offices and private investment entities.

• Counsel clients on trust formation, administration, and fiduciary matters.

• Develop succession plans for closely held businesses and investment structures.

• Address cross-border and international estate planning issues.

• Collaborate with tax, corporate, real estate, and litigation attorneys to deliver integrated advice.

• Build long-term relationships with clients and their professional advisors.

What We're Looking For

• At least 8 years of legal experience, with partner-level trusts and estates experience or a clear path to partnership.

• A substantial portable book of business and an established high-net-worth client base.

• Demonstrated experience in complex estate and wealth transfer planning, rather than high-volume or commoditized work.

• Experience advising family offices, private investment structures, or clients with cross-border planning needs is valuable.

• A Juris Doctor from an accredited law school and authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.

• A collaborative, entrepreneurial approach to practice growth and working across legal disciplines.

• Professional presence or a client base in New York, California, Texas, or Florida.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary range: $400,000 to $750,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

Remote within the United States, with New York, NY as the primary location.
