Description:

We are seeking an attorney (0–3 years experience preferred) who wants to build deep technical expertise in a stable, recession-resistant practice area.

This is not a high-volume, billable-hour firm. You will work directly with senior attorneys on substantive drafting, strategy, and court matters while developing meaningful client-facing skills.

What You'll Actually Do

Draft wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, and related estate planning documents
Assist with Medicaid planning strategies and nursing home applications
Prepare Surrogate's Court pleadings and accountings
Attend court appearances
Meet with clients alongside senior attorneys
Work closely with our legal team to move files efficiently and accurately
You will receive hands-on mentorship and meaningful responsibility early.

Who This Role Is For

This position is ideal for someone who:
Is admitted in New York (or pending admission)
Has strong writing and drafting ability
Is detail-oriented and organized
Prefers substantive legal work over sales or business development
Wants to become technically strong in elder law and estate planning
Experience in trusts & estates, elder law, or Surrogate's Court is helpful but not required.

We value professionalism, reliability, and good judgment more than flashy resumes.

What we offer:

Salary range: $75,000–100,000 (based on experience)
Annual performance-based bonus
No billable hour requirements
Profit-sharing and retirement matching
Health and dental insurance
Flexible 4/1 hybrid schedule
Office closes at 1:00 p.m. on Fridays year-round
A collaborative, team-oriented environment
We have been recognized as a Best Place to Work in Central New York and named to Inc. Magazine's Best Workplaces list.

Growth Path
This role is designed to develop a technically strong attorney with increasing responsibility over time. Advancement opportunities are available for the right candidate.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $75,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year
