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
