Job Description

A boutique law firm based in New Haven, Connecticut, is seeking a skilled Trust & Estate (T&E) Associate to join their growing team. This firm offers a dynamic, multi-practice environment with a strong focus on high-net-worth individuals, providing the opportunity to handle complex and sophisticated trust and estate matters.

About the Role:

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced T&E attorney to step into a thriving practice following the upcoming retirement of our most senior T&E counsel at the end of the year. The firm has an active and established T&E practice, and the associate will be expected to contribute immediately to a busy workload, while also working closely with senior attorneys. This role will offer significant exposure to clients and opportunities for professional development and advancement within the firm.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Provide expert counsel on trust and estate matters to high-net-worth individuals.
  • Manage a range of T&E cases, including complex estate planning, administration, and tax-related issues.
  • Take on increasing responsibility for client relationships and business development.
  • Work collaboratively with a talented and supportive team of attorneys.

Qualifications:

  • 3-7 years of experience in trust and estate law, particularly in handling high-net-worth clients.
  • Strong knowledge of estate planning, probate administration, and related tax issues.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently while also contributing to team success.

Additional Information:

  • No minimum billable hour requirement, but expect a minimum of 1,400 billable hours annually.
  • This role offers a direct path toward partnership for high-performing associates.
  • A fantastic opportunity to inherit an existing book of business and build relationships with top-tier clients.

If you're an experienced T&E attorney looking to make a significant impact at a respected boutique law firm, this is the perfect next step in your career.

Interested applicants are encouraged to submit a confidential resume.
