Estate Planning Attorney

Estate Planning Attorney | California | Remote or Hybrid

Baron Family Law is expanding its estate planning practice and is seeking an experienced California Estate Planning Attorney with strong estate plan design, drafting, and client counseling skills.

This role is focused on helping California clients protect their families, assets, and legacies through thoughtful, accurate, customized estate planning.

This is not a probate-focused position. Our priority is estate planning, drafting, execution, trust funding, and client counseling.

The position may be fully remote within California. Attorneys who prefer a hybrid schedule may also work through our Sacramento or Beverly Hills offices.

About the Opportunity

Baron Family Law is intentionally building estate planning into a meaningful statewide practice area.

Our initial focus is on straightforward to moderately complex flat-fee estate planning matters, with room to grow into more sophisticated planning as the practice expands.

The attorney joining us should be able to independently counsel clients, identify planning issues, develop appropriate strategies, and translate those strategies into technically sound estate planning documents.

This is more than a document-production role.

We are looking for someone who combines strong legal judgment and drafting skills with an interest in helping build a modern, systems-driven estate planning practice.

Compensation

Base salary: $100,000 to $120,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, substantive drafting ability, WealthCounsel experience, and the level of estate planning work the attorney can independently manage.

The position will also be eligible for a separate estate-planning performance incentive program based on practice performance and individual contribution.

Unlike our litigation attorney compensation model, estate planning incentives will not be based primarily on billable hours.

Benefits for eligible employees currently include:

• Medical insurance, with the firm currently paying 80% of the employee-only premium.
• 100% employer-paid employee-only dental and vision premiums.
• Dependent medical, dental, and vision coverage available at plan rates.
• CalSavers retirement savings participation.
• Flexible non-accrual vacation after the applicable introductory period, subject to approval and coverage requirements.
• Paid sick leave and other protected leave as required by applicable law.
• Professional development opportunities.
• Remote-first work environment.

Location

This is a California-only position.

Candidates must be licensed to practice law in California and perform their work from California.

The position may be:

• Fully remote within California.
• Hybrid in Sacramento.
• Hybrid in Beverly Hills / Los Angeles.

Our practice serves clients statewide.

Schedule

Full-time, exempt.

Attorneys must maintain reliable availability during normal California business hours for client meetings, document review, signing appointments, team collaboration, and other practice responsibilities.

Our Standard

Clients trust us with decisions that affect their families, assets, businesses, and futures.

That means the documents must be right.

We expect attorneys to take ownership, communicate clearly, meet deadlines, double-check their work, identify risks early, and raise questions before a potential issue becomes a client problem.

We do not expect perfection.

We do expect accountability, strong judgment, thoughtful client care, and a commitment to getting the work right.

If you are a California estate planning attorney who enjoys client counseling, substantive drafting, and helping build a modern estate planning practice, we would like to meet you.

Baron Family Law is an equal opportunity employer. Employment decisions are made based on qualifications, performance, business needs, and applicable law.
