Senior Associate Attorney – Trusts & Estates (Remote)

What This Firm Does

This firm serves high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners with sophisticated estate planning and post-death administration. Attorneys here handle advanced transfer tax planning, trust and probate administration, fiduciary counseling, charitable planning, and business succession strategies. The team prides itself on technical precision, direct client engagement, and a practical approach that gets results.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a strong fit for a senior associate who is ready to take on real responsibility. You’ll work directly with Partners, manage complex matters, and be trusted to handle client relationships independently. The firm values attorneys who are proactive, consistent, and able to deliver high-quality work without micromanagement. There’s room to deepen your expertise, grow in leadership, and carve a long-term path with the firm.

What You’ll Do

• Draft and implement advanced estate plans and wealth-transfer strategies (GRATs, IDGTs, ILITs, CRTs, FLPs/LLCs)
• Handle trust and probate administrations from intake through closing, including fiduciary guidance and risk management
• Review, draft, and advise on planning instruments, transfer documents, and related tax filings
• Take work directly from a Partner and manage matters with autonomy
• Interface with clients, advisors, and fiduciaries, translating complex issues into actionable solutions
• Coordinate with tax professionals on estate, gift, and fiduciary returns (Forms 706, 709, 1041, 541)
• Participate in firm initiatives and contribute to client development efforts
