Trusts and Estates Attorney

We are looking for a Trusts and Estates Attorney with 7+ years of experience to join one of the firm's largest practice areas at Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP. This is a backfill for a senior team member who moved in-house, and we're open to candidates at the senior associate through partner level depending on experience and background.

What will you be doing?

• Handle all stages of estate planning and estate administration, from client intake through completion


• Draft core estate documents including wills, powers of attorney, trusts, and advance directives


• Manage sensitive client relationships, consulting with individuals and families on their best interests and next steps


• Collaborate across practice areas, with potential to support the elder law team on Medicaid/Medicare matters


• Occasionally travel to the NYC office for client meetings or firm matters

Key Requirements

• 7+ years of hands-on experience in estate planning and estate administration


• Demonstrated ability to independently manage client relationships and case intake


• Stable work history — frequent short tenures without clear explanation are a dealbreaker


• Strong sensitivity and interpersonal skills when working with clients on estate matters


• Barred in any U.S. state (New York bar preferred but not required; willingness to obtain NY bar is a plus)
