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.

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.
