Firm Description:
Our client is a nationally recognized law firm with a strong presence across more than 20 U.S. offices. Known for its industry-focused approach, the firm organizes its legal teams around client sectors rather than traditional practice areas, enabling tailored, strategic solutions. With over 1,100 attorneys and a reputation for innovation, collaboration, and client-centered service, the firm delivers high-impact legal counsel across areas such as healthcare, energy, financial services, and technology. Their culture emphasizes purpose-driven work, diversity, and long-term client relationships.

Position Description:
Our client, a leading national law firm, is seeking a Private Wealth Associate with 4–8 years of experience to join its established trusts and estates practice. This position is open across multiple U.S. offices, with a preference for candidates located in Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Nashville, or St. Louis, as well as remote flexibility.

The ideal candidate will have experience advising high-net-worth individuals and families on sophisticated estate planning, including drafting wills, trusts, and other wealth transfer structures. This role also involves handling trust and estate administration, advising on estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax matters, and supporting charitable and philanthropic planning strategies. Attorneys in this group work collaboratively across offices on complex private wealth matters.

Candidates should have prior law firm experience and strong academic credentials, along with excellent drafting, analytical, and interpersonal skills. The ability to manage multiple matters, exercise sound judgment, and communicate effectively with clients and colleagues is essential. An active bar license in the relevant jurisdiction is required.

This is an opportunity to join a nationally recognized private wealth practice with a collaborative culture and exposure to sophisticated, high-value work. The firm offers competitive compensation, generally ranging from $215,000 to $275,000 depending on location and experience, along with performance-based bonuses and a comprehensive benefits package.
