We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "The Opportunity", "What You'll Do", "What You'll Bring", "Why This Role Stands Out", "The Details", "About BBH". Also maybe "Benefits" mentioned but not specific details; they say "BBH's total rewards package..." but no specifics. According to rules: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. Benefits: they mention total rewards package but no specifics; we should not create Benefits section unless specific content. Pay: they have salary range, so we can include Pay section. Schedule: they have full-time, exempt, hybrid, minimum three days per week in office, occasional travel. That's schedule info, so we can include Schedule section. Also maybe "Qualifications" could be covered by "What You'll Bring". Use headings: About the role? Could use "About the role" as heading for The Opportunity? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. We have:
- About the role: could be "The Opportunity" paragraph.
- Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" list.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "What You'll Bring" includes JD, bar admission, experience, etc. Could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (communication, drafting). But we can combine into Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule, Why This Role Stands Out (maybe as About the role? but we already have About the role). Could treat "Why This Role Stands Out" as part of About the role or as a separate section like "About the role" already covers. Could also include "About BBH" as separate section maybe "About the company". Not in list but could be okay? The instruction says use those headings as examples, not exclusive? It says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these headings. We have:
- About the role: could be "The Opportunity" paragraph.
- Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" list.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "What You'll Bring" includes JD, bar admission, experience, etc. Could split into Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (communication, drafting). But we can combine into Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule, Why This Role Stands Out (maybe as About the role? but we already have About the role). Could treat "Why This Role Stands Out" as part of About the role or as a separate section like "About the role" already covers. Could also include "About BBH" as separate section maybe "About the company". Not in list but could be okay? The instruction says use those headings as examples, not exclusive? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should stick to those. So we can map:
- About the role: The Opportunity paragraph.
- Responsibilities: What You'll Do (list).
- Requirements: What You'll Bring (list of qualifications).
- Pay: Salary range.
- Schedule: The Details (full-time, hybrid, travel).
- Benefits: Not specific, so omit.
- Qualifications/Skills: maybe combine into Requirements.
We also have "Why This Role Stands Out" which is descriptive; could be included under About the role as additional paragraph. Or we could make a separate section like "About the role" already includes that. We'll incorporate it into About the role.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we need list items. For Requirements we need list items.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, navigation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract content.
About the role: Combine "The Opportunity" paragraph and "Why This Role Stands Out" paragraphs.
The Opportunity paragraph: "A rare opportunity for an accomplished trusts and estates attorney to become the legal voice behind a premier private wealth franchise. As Counsel, you will be the day-to-day coverage attorney for our two National Trust Companies and our Cayman Trust Company within our Capital Partners line of business — advising senior management, shaping policy, negotiating agreements, and guiding the administration of our most complex fiduciary matters. Substantive, sophisticated work with a genuine seat at the table."
Why This Role Stands Out: "Breadth and ownership. Daily coverage attorney for three trust companies, spanning advisory, transactional, regulatory, and dispute work.Independent judgment with strategic support. Reporting to Fiduciary Counsel, you will exercise substantial autonomy, direct access to senior management and boards, and firmwide visibility, with the expectation that the role will grow into lead responsibility over the next few years.A collaborative bench. A small, close-knit team working shoulder to shoulder with Compliance, Risk, and client-facing colleagues."
We need to keep spacing; but we can just combine into paragraphs.
Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" bullet list (though currently each line starts with a verb and no bullet). We need to make
- items.
List items:
- Advise our trust companies on business acceptance and all aspects of fiduciary administration, from review of governing instruments to advising on policies, procedures, operations and workflows.
- Review and negotiate a broad range of instruments including trust agreements, Wills, entity formation documents, release and account settlement agreements, engagement letters, intercompany agreements and vendor contracts entered into in a fiduciary capacity.
- Partner with Trust Officers, Office Heads, Wealth Planners, Relationship Managers and external counsel on complex trust and estate administration matters, and serve as subject matter expert to internal counsel covering litigation and other areas.
- Track legal and regulatory developments and translate them into practical guidance, memoranda, and multistate law reviews.
- Serve as legal advisor to Trust Company Boards, Committees, and key projects, and provide counsel during audits and regulatory examinations.
- Present at firmwide Legal Developments Meetings and Trust Officer training, and represent the firm in bar association and industry groups.
Requirements: "What You'll Bring" list.
Items:
- JD and active bar admission in good standing, with 10+ years of relevant experience.
- Deep command of trust and estate law and the practical application of trust and estate document provisions; knowledge of one or more state-specific trust and estate laws preferred.
- Practical experience in the administration of complex trusts and estates, including knowledge of investment structures.
- Fluency in the rules, regulations, and best practices governing trust, estate, and entity administration, including state and federal banking requirements.
- A track record of applying legal principles to complex fact patterns and developing creative solutions to complex business problems.
- Outstanding written and oral communication, strong drafting and project management skills, and the presence to work effectively with senior internal and external constituencies.
Pay: Salary range: "Salary Range NY: $170,000 - $220,000 base salary + annual bonus target BBH and its affiliates' compensation program includes base salary, discretionary bonuses, and profit-sharing. The anticipated base salary range(s) shown above are only for the indicated location(s) and may differ in other locations due to cost of living and labor considerations. Base salaries may vary based on factors such as skill, experience and qualification for the role."
We need to preserve all that. Could put in
.
Schedule: "The Details Full-time, exempt individual contributor role. Hybrid, with a minimum of three days per week in the office. Occasional domestic and overnight travel required."
We'll put in
.
We should not include About BBH? It's extra but maybe we can include as a section like "About the company" but not in list. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Including About BBH may be extra but it's substantive. However the list of headings didn't include About the company. But we could still include as
About BBH? The examples are not exclusive; they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies those are typical but not exclusive. Safer to include About BBH as a section maybe "About the company". But we could also omit to keep fewer sections. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Including About BBH adds another section; but it's substantive. However we already have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule = 5 sections. Adding About BBH makes 6. Might be okay. But we need to decide.
Given the instruction to preserve ALL substantive information, we should include About BBH content. So we need a heading for it. Could use About BBH
. That seems reasonable.
Thus final sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule, About BBH.
We must not include Benefits as no specific.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to ensure no markdown fences, just raw HTML.
Let's craft.
