- Family Formation Support: Advise on and draft surrogacy agreements, donor agreements, and related contracts for clients utilizing assisted reproduction.
- Client Engagement: Manage high-touch client relationships directly from initial consultation through final plan delivery.
- Business Development: Leverage firm-backed marketing, existing client infrastructure, and referrals to expand the practice area's local footprint.
Key Qualifications
- Experience: 4+ years of hands-on estate planning and asset protection experience within a law firm setting.
- Licensure: Active member of the North Carolina State Bar in good standing.
- Practice Areas: Substantive expertise in core estate planning; prior exposure to or a strong interest in ART, surrogacy, or family law is preferred.
- Culture & Alignment: Strong commitment to inclusivity, particularly affirming and supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and families.
- Work Structure: Ability to work in-person from the Chapel Hill office Monday through Thursday, with remote flexibility on Fridays.
