  • Counsel clients regarding charitable giving, business succession, asset protection considerations, and cross-border or multi-jurisdictional planning matters
  • Independently manage probate and administration proceedings, including the preparation and filing of petitions and supporting documents with the Surrogate's Court
  • Analyze existing estate plans and recommend appropriate modifications based on changes in clients' families, finances, residency, business interests, or applicable law
  • Collaborate with accountants, financial advisors, insurance professionals, valuation experts, corporate trustees, and attorneys in other jurisdictions to implement comprehensive planning strategies
  • Mentor junior attorneys, review work product, and provide substantive guidance and professional development
  • Help refine the firm's drafting standards, internal systems, workflows, knowledge resources, and best practices
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, colleagues, and professional referral sources
  • Stay current on developments in federal and state trust, estate, tax, and related laws

Requirements

  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Admission to practice in New York and good standing with the bar
  • At least 4 years of substantial experience handling sophisticated estate planning matters

  • Excellent drafting, analytical, research, issue spotting, and client counseling skills
  • Admission to practice in new Jersey or Connecticut is a plus
  • An LL.M in Taxation or substantial advanced tax planning experience is a plus

What we're looking for

  • A genuine interest in sophisticated estate and tax planning
  • Strong technical knowledge, analytical ability, and professional judgement
  • Exceptional client counseling skills and the ability to explain complicated legal and tax concepts clearly and practically
  • A collaborative leadership style and genuine interest in mentoring other attorneys
  • A proactive, organized, and detail-oriented approach to managing matters and deadlines
  • The ability to navigate sensitive family, financial, and interpersonal dynamics with confidence, discretion, and compassion
  • An interest in contributing to the continued growth, development, and reputation of the firm

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.
