Job Description

Rochester, Minnesota | Full-Time | Hybrid Flexibility

An established firm. A significant stage of growth. An opportunity to be part of the next chapter.

For more than 30 years, Yanowitz Law Firm has helped Minnesota families through some of life's most important moments. Today, we're building on that foundation during a significant stage of growth, and we're looking for an experienced estate planning and probate attorney to be part of what comes next.

Picture walking into a client meeting knowing there is a capable team behind you. You can focus on the family in front of you, solve complex legal issues, and produce work you're proud of. Our attorneys meet weekly to discuss challenging cases, exchange perspectives, and learn from one another, giving you both the independence that comes with experience and the benefit of a collaborative attorney team.

That support extends beyond the legal work. Our firm has invested in experienced staff, technology, and established systems and processes that help the practice run efficiently and consistently. We're looking for an attorney who appreciates that structure and thrives within strong systems, while bringing their own experience and judgment to the work.

We also believe a meaningful legal career should leave room for life outside of work and opportunities to keep getting better at what you do. The position offers a financial bonus opportunity , 4 weeks of total paid time off with the opportunity to earn additional PTO through our group bonus program , and hybrid flexibility. We also invest in our attorneys by paying for opportunities to attend conferences, learn from others in the field, and continue becoming better at what they do.

Attorneys are generally available in Rochester for client appointments approximately three days per week, with the ability to work remotely approximately two days per week.

If you're an experienced estate planning and probate attorney who values strong systems, a collaborative team, flexibility, and the opportunity to focus more of your energy on practicing law, we'd be glad to talk.
