Schedule
Full‑time, Monday–Friday, 8:30 am–5:00 pm (hours may extend beyond this schedule as needed).
We must not include any boilerplate like "To Apply:", "About Leech Tishman", "Equal Opportunity Employer", etc. Also not include "Position Details" etc. However we might need to include some of that info like reporting structure? Not required. The instructions: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to keep all substantive info from the posting. That includes details about reporting to Trusts & Estates Chairs, being part of practice group, non-supervisory, full-time salaried, location Westwood office, etc. Some of that is already captured in About the role or Schedule. But we might need to include a section for "Position Details" maybe under About the role or Requirements? The allowed headings do not include Position Details, but we can incorporate that info into About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the role" can include reporting lines. We also need to include "Work may fall outside of these hours at times." Already in Schedule. We need to include "Primarily an office environment; Some work-from-home is permitted; Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk; Regularly navigates the office and uses office equipment; Consistently uses a computer and other equipment that requires keyboarding; Prolonged periods of focus and attention to detail; Consistently requires communication with others; Regularly engages in activities that have productivity and time driven requirement." This is Working Conditions. Not in allowed headings, but we could fold into About the role or maybe a separate section like "Requirements"? Could be part of About the role description. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could incorporate working conditions into About the role or maybe a separate "Requirements" section? But Requirements is for qualifications. Better to add a short paragraph under About the role describing work environment. We also need to include "This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of the duties and responsibilities of the position, which may change without notice." That's a disclaimer; maybe we can include as a note after Responsibilities. We also need to include "Job Type: Professional" maybe not needed. We need to include "Travel: 0%" maybe not needed. We need to include "All benefits are subject to eligibility and some may be subject to premiums/contributions." Already in Benefits note. We need to include "The Trusts & Estates attorney will be a part of the Trusts & Estates Practice Group and report to the Trusts & Estates Chairs. This is a non-supervisory position." Could be in About the role. We need to include "Primarily an office environment..." etc. Could be in About the role as well. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Already not. We must not include "Job ID / requisition numbers as headings". Not present. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we must remove "To Apply: Send a resume to Mala Mason..." and "About Leech Tishman" and "We are an Equal Opportunity Employer." etc. Now we need to ensure we haven't missed any substantive info: Let's list all substantive info from posting: - Trusts & Estates Associate (Mid-Level) – Los Angeles, CA - Leech Tishman seeking mid-level Trusts & Estates attorney with 2-4 years+ experience in estate planning, trust administration, and probate to work in Los Angeles (Westwood) office. - Position requires significant client contact and ability to excel when working independently. - Superior client communication, writing, research, computer, and organizational skills are a must. - Duties And Responsibilities: - Administration of trusts and estates from inception to completion - Reviewing and drafting trust and probate administration documents and other related documents - Drafting wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care
