Estate Litigation Senior Associate

Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP is a full-service, rapidly growing and entrepreneurial law firm focused on an interdisciplinary approach to the practice of law. Our team is composed of thought leaders across a variety of practice areas, including some of the nation’s leading voices on web3, taxation and a variety of other fields. We bring together experts across all of our practice areas to achieve extraordinary results which would not be achievable at a more narrowly focused firm.

Respect, appreciation and quality of life come first and foremost. We care deeply about the people we bring into our firm and offer a unique emphasis on professional development. We work collaboratively to drive client success.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Estate Litigation Associate to join our Trusts & Estates team. The ideal candidate brings substantial hands-on experience managing complex estate and trust litigation matters, a deep understanding of New York Surrogate’s Court procedures, and the ability to work directly with high-net-worth clients, fiduciaries, and beneficiaries.
This role is best suited for someone who thrives in a collaborative legal environment, demonstrates exceptional attention to detail, and can independently manage a sophisticated caseload from start to finish.

Qualifications:

: At least five years of experience at a law firm performing work in both estate litigation and estate administration, including regular direct contact with clients and primary responsibility for complex matters.
: Ability to handle routine aspects of Surrogate’s Court litigation independently and proactively, managing time effectively and efficiently to meet deadlines and address department workflow needs.
: Strong working knowledge of the SCPA, EPTL, and other trusts and estates statutory framework.
Required: Excellent writing skills, with experience performing motion practice.
: Familiarity with all aspects of Microsoft Office, with a particular emphasis on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; mastery of Microsoft Office preferred.
Strongly Preferred: Experience with matters of Tax and/or Elder Law.
Strongly Preferred: Demonstrable history of project management or supervision and training of (less experienced) staff.
Preferred: Experience with matters of Corporate or Real Estate law.
Prior experience clerking at any Surrogate’s Court a major plus.
Experience with Clio and/or NetDocuments a plus.
Fluency in any language other than English a plus.

Perks:

Robust benefits package, including life and disability insurance, 401(k) match, and contribution toward health insurance premiums.
Flexible work hours and location (partial remote schedule available).
Transparent communication across the department and the firm at large.
Encouragement of continuing education (both presenting and attending), networking, and suggestions to improve firm operations.
Mentorship about technical aspects of law practice and how to build a book of business.

Salary Range: $140- $180K
