Estate Planning Attorney
Job Details
- 6+ years of dedicated trusts & estates / private wealth experience at a law firm
- Active New York bar admission
- Demonstrated drafting fluency in grantor trusts, GRATs, family LLCs, or comparable wealth-transfer vehicles
- Comfortable owning direct client communication, not just drafting in the background
- Based in or able to work from Manhattan (in-office)
A bit about us:
We're a fast-growing boutique law firm in the heart of Manhattan, built on the idea that sophisticated legal work and a human-sized team aren't mutually exclusive. Our private wealth group was founded years ago by a BigLaw-trained partner and has grown into one of the busiest high-net-worth estate planning practices of its size in the city. We're profitable, growing roughly 30% year over year, and still small enough that everyone is known by name, not headcount.
Why join us?
- Real ownership — run matters independently and own client relationships from day one, not year five
- True HNW substance — grantor trusts, GRATs, family LLCs, complex succession and trust administration, not template wills
- A genuine partnership track — non-equity to equity, with origination credit built in early (15– 20%)
- A sustainable billing environment — roughly 1,800-hour expectation; real work without the BigLaw grind
- Built by a partner who wants to bring people up with him, with visibility and client-facing responsibility from the start
Compensation & location:
Manhattan in-office. Compensation is competitive with the New York private wealth market for this experience level, with early origination credit
