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.

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