WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Five to seven years of trusts and estates law experience advising high-net-worth clients.
- Strong knowledge of gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer tax regimes.
- Experience drafting advanced estate planning documents and advising on trust and estate administration.
- Juris Doctor degree and admission to practice in Georgia, or eligibility to obtain admission.
- Strong academic record, including a law school GPA of at least 3.0.
- Entrepreneurial approach and comfort in a direct, client-facing role.
- Stable work history, or clear context for shorter tenures, and willingness to provide conflicts information before an offer.
- Comfort working in a small-office environment and being in the office at least three days per week.
- Authorized to work without visa sponsorship.
