Job Description

Estate Planning Associate Attorney | NJ Licensed | Roseland, NJ

Most people spend their entire lives building something. A home. A business. A family. When they finally sit down with an estate planning attorney they are not just signing documents. They are deciding what survives them.

That conversation requires trust. It requires someone who knows the law and understands people.

A law firm in Roseland, New Jersey is looking for an Estate Planning Associate who wants to do that work at a high level and grow into the kind of attorney clients remember for the rest of their lives.

What you get:

• $110,000 to $120,000 a year
• Full benefits package
• Mentorship from attorneys who have spent careers mastering this practice
• A collaborative team that invests in your growth
• Work life balance that lets you show up fully for your clients and your own life
• A client centered culture where your work creates real impact for real families

What you will be doing:

• Counseling clients on tax planning, estate planning and trust and estate administration
• Drafting wills, trusts, powers of attorney and estate planning documents
• Advising on estate and gift tax strategies that protect generational wealth
• Managing probate and trust administration including tax filings and financial reporting
• Collaborating with financial planners and accountants to serve clients at the highest level

What you need to bring:

• JD from an accredited law school
• Two or more years of estate planning and tax law experience inside a law firm
• Active New Jersey law license required
• New York law license preferred
• LLM is a plus but not required

This is an associate role inside a firm. If you have been in solo practice for an extended period this role is not the right fit. The firm is looking for someone who has grown inside a team and is ready to keep growing.
