The posting

If you are interested in applying for this position, please read the instructions at the end of this posting and follow all instructions explicitly.

Do you want to help give clients peace of mind after the death of a loved one by navigating them through the probate process? Do you want to help clients ensure that their deceased loved one’s estate is distributed according to the deceased’s wishes? Are you the type of person who would enjoy assisting clients in removing a tremendous weight off their shoulders by crafting estate planning documents for their benefit that will remove all anxiety about their futures?

We are an rapidly growing law firm located in Memphis, TN that is on track for aggressive growth, and we need a probate and estate planning attorney to join our team and work directly with the owner and attorneys to support the team and help clients. We are looking for someone committed to creating an amazing client experience and who has the ability to be a calming and comforting presence for clients during a potentially anxious time.

Salary is commensurate with skill and experience and is negotiable. The compensation package includes base salary plus bonus compensation for production and performance. We offer benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance, as well as disability insurance and life insurance and 401K. We treat our lawyers like adults and as such, we offer unlimited PTO as well. We pay for Continuing Legal Education, Bar Dues, Professional Privilege Taxes and some approved voluntary bar memberships. Personal and professional development are critical to our Firm’s success and continued growth, so we offer real opportunities for personal and professional development.

If this exciting opportunity appeals to you, we look forward to reviewing your resume. Please follow these instructions. Prepare a cover letter that explains what you believe are the 3 most important qualities or values for an attorney working with individuals dealing with the repercussions that follow the death of a loved one. Please include your desired compensation range. As a closing sentence please write, “I have read the instructions contained in the job posting and have followed the instructions.”

You will be prompted to upload your cover letter.

• Appearing in Court as counsel for the Estate on various estate-related hearings.

• Advocating for estate beneficiaries when necessary on contested probate estates.

• Ensuring that all cases are moving forward within the workflow with a timely resolution.

• Working to make client satisfaction a top priority and finding quick resolutions to client complaints and concerns.

Qualifications

• We need an attorney who possesses exceptional communication skills and problem-solving skills needed in order to work with all levels of staff and our clients.

• We need an attorney with a passion for working with people and who is able to show care and compassion to our clients who are dealing with emotionally difficult circumstances.

• You need to be detail-oriented and possess the ability to develop and apply comprehensive planning and organizing strategies to ensure projects are appropriately prioritized and resources are used effectively and efficiently.

• You need to be comfortable appearing in Court on a regular basis and show a willingness to learn from senior attorneys.

• We need an attorney who possesses the ability to craft estate planning documents based upon our client's needs or the ability to learn how to craft estate planning documents on behalf of our clients.

• Skills and experience are important and valued, but your personality, character, intelligence, and integrity are also extremely important considerations.

• If we can’t count on you to show up in court on time, don’t apply.

• High-maintenance, humorless, self-entitled, or self-important individuals will not succeed in our Firm and need not apply.

• We are growing, and you will be called upon to wear many hats. We need someone who does not think that the occasional need to scan your own documents is “beneath you."

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
