Location: Downtown San Jose, CA, Pleasanton, CA, San Mateo, CA

About this role

We are looking for a Mid-Level Trust & Estate Litigation Attorney with 4-6 years of experience to join a small but growing practice group at a well-established Silicon Valley law firm. You'll be stepping into a team that needs a next-generation leader who can handle trust litigation matters with increasing autonomy and help build out the group alongside seasoned practitioners.

What will you be doing?

  • Handling substantive trust and estate litigation matters (will/trust contests, breach of fiduciary duty, elder abuse, removal actions) with growing independence
  • Representing trustees, executors, administrators, and beneficiaries in probate litigation
  • Collaborating with senior attorneys on case strategy, briefing, and trial preparation
  • Developing direct client relationships and communication skills
  • Contributing to the growth and development of a small, expanding practice group

Key Requirements

  • 4-6 years of trust and estate litigation experience — this is not a crossover role; you must already know trust litigation
  • Active membership in the State Bar of California (in good standing)
  • Strong analytical, negotiation, and communication skills
  • Collaborative mindset and desire to grow into a leadership role within the group
  • Excellent reputation for integrity and collegiality among bench and bar
