Job Description
We are partnering with an established and growing law firm seeking a Trust & Estates Associate with 3–5 years of experience to join its expanding practice.
This is an exciting opportunity for an attorney who wants to move beyond a traditional supporting role and take on meaningful client responsibility early in their career. You’ll work directly with high-net-worth clients, handle sophisticated estate planning matters, and have the opportunity to broaden your practice into business and real estate law.
The firm offers a clear path toward leadership and the chance to help shape the future of a dynamic, growing practice group.
What You'll Do
- Draft a broad range of estate planning documents, including wills, trusts, and business succession plans
- Handle probate, guardianship, and other ancillary Trust & Estates matters
- Advise and work directly with high-net-worth clients
- Assist with federal estate and gift tax matters
- Support general business and real estate matters, allowing you to broaden your legal expertise
- Take ownership of substantive matters and client relationships
- Contribute to the continued growth and development of the firm's Trust & Estates practice
What We're Looking For
- 3–5 years of dedicated Trust & Estates experience
- Substantive experience drafting a full range of estate planning documents
- Familiarity with federal estate and gift tax issues
- Strong client-service and communication skills
- Ability to work independently while collaborating with an established team
- New Hampshire Bar admission or a clear path to obtaining admission with firm sponsorship
- Candidates relocating from outside the region should have demonstrated ties to New Hampshire
- Bar Requirement: New Hampshire Bar admission or clear path to admission
Why This Is a Great Opportunity
- $115,000–$125,000 base salary
- Approximately $10,000 average annual bonus
- 5% origination credit
- 401(k) with a 50% match on the first 6% of contributions
- Direct exposure to high-net-worth clients
- Substantive responsibility rather than simply supporting senior attorneys
- Opportunity to expand into business and real estate law
- Clear path toward leadership within a growing practice
- Hybrid work environment
- Opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping a growing Trust & Estates practice
This role is particularly compelling for an attorney who has built a strong foundation in Trust & Estates and is ready for greater autonomy, direct client contact, and a long-term path toward leadership. The original role specifically highlights substantive responsibility, high-net-worth client exposure, and significant growth potential within the practice.
