Trust & Estates Attorney

The Opportunity: Our client is building a rapidly growing national legal platform within a broader professional services organization serving an extensive existing client base of entrepreneurs, privately held businesses, high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families, and family offices. We are seeking an entrepreneurial Trusts & Estates Attorney who has demonstrated the ability to develop client relationships and wants a platform that can help accelerate the growth of their practice. This is not a traditional lateral law firm opportunity. The organization has established capabilities across tax, accounting, wealth, family office, transaction advisory, consulting, and other professional services. This creates meaningful opportunities for collaboration, cross-selling, and internal referrals. Trusts & Estates and Private Client services represent a significant area of opportunity within the organization's existing relationships. For the right attorney, the opportunity is to combine an existing client following and personal business development with a substantial internal referral network to build a significantly larger practice. The opportunity also includes equity participation in the broader organization.

Beyond client delivery, this individual will have the opportunity to build a larger practice by developing relationships across the organization's existing client base and collaborating with professionals in tax, wealth management, family office, accounting, transaction advisory, and other areas. Who We're Looking ForWe are particularly interested in attorneys who are entrepreneurial, relationship-driven, and motivated to build. The successful candidate will likely have: Meaningful experience practicing in Trusts & Estates and Estate Planning Strong relationships with individuals, families, entrepreneurs, business owners, and/or family offices A demonstrated ability to originate business and develop client relationships An existing client following or portable book of business An interest in substantially growing their practice The ability to identify broader needs within client relationships and collaborate across disciplines A desire to help build a growing practice rather than simply join an established law firmJ.D. and active bar membership in the applicable jurisdiction Experience in complementary areas such as Private Client, Family Office, Tax, Business Succession, Wealth Planning, or Charitable Planning is highly valued, provided Trusts & Estates remains a core component of the attorney's practice. Why Consider This Opportunity? For many Trusts & Estates attorneys, growing a practice means personally generating nearly every new client relationship. This platform is designed differently. The broader organization already has an extensive client base and professionals serving many of the same individuals, families, entrepreneurs, and business owners who require sophisticated Trusts & Estates advice. An incoming attorney therefore has the opportunity to grow through two complementary channels: Personal client relationships and origination + internal referrals and cross-selling across the broader platform. For an entrepreneurial attorney, the goal is not simply to move an existing practice. It is to leverage a much broader platform to build a significantly larger one. The opportunity also includes equity participation, providing the ability to share in the long-term growth of the broader organization.
