Are you a senior Trusts & Estates attorney ready to take the next step in your career at one of the nation's most prestigious firms? We are working confidentially with the head of a Tier 1 Trusts and Estates practice at an AmLaw 10 firm, known for its nationwide reach and industry-leading wealth planning practice on the West Coast.
About the Role:
This position is ideal for a Counsel-level attorney or Junior Partner seeking a pivotal role within a premier practice. While no book of business is required, this role offers a unique path for growth and partnership, , particularly for those who are service-oriented.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- No Business Development Pressure: Unlike many opportunities, there is no expectation to bring an existing book of business. You will focus on delivering exceptional client service, providing sophisticated trust and estate planning solutions.
- Generous Origination Credit: The lead partner is highly collaborative and generous in sharing origination credit, fostering a team-oriented environment where contributions are recognized with promotion.
- Excellent Mentorship: This is a rare opportunity to work directly with an outstanding mentor who is committed to your professional growth. If your goal is to make equity partner, this leader is known for providing the mentorship and resources to help you succeed.
- Growing, Dynamic Team: The group is in growth mode, having recently brought on several high-profile partners who are excelling in the practice. This is an exciting time to join a flourishing team at the top of its game.
- Location Flexibility: While based on the West Coast, the team is open to candidates in California, with a particular interest in those making a step up from a midsize firm.
Ideal Candidate:
- Senior-level Trusts & Estates attorney with substantial experience in sophisticated estate planning and wealth management.
- Strong service-oriented approach, with a focus on delivering client-centered solutions.
- Motivated by a collaborative environment where mentorship, not competition, is prioritized.
- Ambitious to grow within a Tier 1 practice, with a potential path to partnership.
If you're looking for a role where you can focus on honing your legal craft in an elite practice, working alongside supportive and collaborative partners, this could be the perfect opportunity.
This is a confidential search, and we encourage interested candidates to apply discreetly.
