  • Fiduciary & Elder Law Litigation: Representing clients in contentious, high-stakes fiduciary disputes, including contested guardianship matters, conservatorships, capacity challenges, and other elder-law-related litigation.
  • Client Advisory: Serving as a trusted advisor to clients, families, and corporate fiduciaries, delivering high-touch service and navigating sensitive family and financial dynamics.

Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.
  • Active license and in good standing with the Virginia State Bar (Required).
  • Experience: 7-12 years of dedicated experience handling HNW estate planning, tax strategies, and estate/trust administration.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to manage complex, sensitive legal matters independently.
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.

Compensation & Title Placement

  • Salary Range: $175,000 – $195,000+ (Base salary is highly competitive and dependent on experience and specialized expertise).
  • Title Determinations: Candidates will be evaluated for placement at the Associate, Counsel, or Principal level based on years of practice, depth of experience, and leadership capabilities.
  • Comprehensive benefits package and path for professional growth.
