Description:

Build a Practice. Serve Clients Well. Share in the Success You Create.

Provision Law Firm is growing—and we're looking for an Associate Estate Planning Attorney who wants to grow with us.

We are a small, close-knit estate planning firm in Burnsville, Minnesota. Our growth has come largely from something pretty simple: we do high-quality work, we take exceptional care of our clients, and people tell others about their experience with us.

We believe estate planning should be personal, approachable, and understandable. Our clients come to us with important questions about their families, their assets, and their futures. We want them to leave not only with an excellent estate plan, but also feeling heard, cared for, and confident in the decisions they have made.

We are looking for an attorney who wants to help us continue building that kind of law firm.

This Is More Than a Traditional Associate Position

This position is particularly well-suited for an attorney with an entrepreneurial mindset.

Our compensation structure rewards attorneys for the revenue they generate, with additional opportunities for bonuses and significant earning potential for high-performing attorneys.

At the same time, you won't be expected to do everything yourself.

Provision has an experienced support team and established systems designed to allow our attorneys to spend their time doing what attorneys do best: meeting with clients, providing legal advice, designing estate plans, developing relationships, and growing their practices.

For the right attorney, this position offers an opportunity to enjoy much of the independence and financial upside of building a practice—while having the team, systems, reputation, marketing, and infrastructure of an established and growing firm behind you.

What You'll Do:
Your practice will focus primarily on estate planning. Responsibilities will include:

Meet with individuals and families to understand their goals, assets, concerns, and family dynamics.
Design customized estate plans using wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, and other planning strategies.
Draft and review wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and related estate planning documents.
Advise clients regarding probate avoidance, asset protection, and wealth transfer strategies.
Identify estate and gift tax planning issues and collaborate with other professionals when appropriate.
Counsel clients regarding trust funding and proper asset titling.
Assist clients with planning for minor children, blended families, beneficiaries with special needs, family cabins and other unique assets.
Work collaboratively with financial advisors, accountants, insurance professionals, and other trusted advisors.
Stay current on developments in Minnesota and federal estate planning, probate, trust, and tax law.
Develop and maintain relationships with clients and professional referral partners.
Participate in educational events, networking, community involvement, and other business-development opportunities.
Work collaboratively with our attorneys and support team to continually improve our systems and the client experience.

Who We're Looking for:
We aren't simply looking for someone who knows how to draft a trust. We are looking for an attorney who fits the way we practice law.

You should be:

Client-focused. You enjoy working directly with people and recognize that listening and communicating are just as important as knowing the law.
Hardworking and motivated. You want your effort, productivity, and results to have a meaningful impact on your compensation and career.
Entrepreneurial. You are interested in developing relationships, generating business, and building a successful practice rather than simply being assigned work.
Personable and approachable. You can make clients comfortable discussing subjects that can sometimes be difficult or emotional.
A strong communicator. You can take complicated legal concepts and explain them in a way clients can actually understand.
Detail-oriented. Estate planning requires precision, and our clients expect high-quality work.
Collaborative. We are a small team. Everyone matters, everyone contributes, and we work together to take exceptional care of our clients.
Open to growth. Our firm is growing rapidly, and our systems and processes continue to evolve. We value people who bring ideas, welcome feedback, and look for better ways to do things.

Experience & Qualifications:

Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited law school.
Licensed and in good standing to practice law in Minnesota.
Working knowledge of wills, trusts, probate avoidance, powers of attorney, health care directives, asset protection, and wealth transfer planning.
1–3 years of estate planning experience preferred.
Strong legal writing and drafting skills.
Strong interpersonal and client counseling skills.
Ability to independently manage client relationships while working collaboratively with attorneys and support staff.
Experience with more advanced planning—including Minnesota estate tax planning, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, business succession planning, cabin succession planning, or high-net-worth clients—is a plus, but not required.

A Team Behind You
One of the things that makes this opportunity different is the support surrounding our attorneys.

Provision has a knowledgeable support team that assists with the many administrative and procedural pieces of an estate planning practice. Our goal is to keep our attorneys focused on the work that most benefits from their expertise and personality: clients, planning, relationships, and growth.

You will also be joining attorneys who enjoy collaborating, sharing knowledge, and helping one another succeed.

Compensation:
This position offers a performance-driven compensation structure based primarily on attorney-generated revenue, together with bonus opportunities.

We believe attorneys who create significant value for clients and the firm should have the opportunity to share meaningfully in the financial success they create.

As a result, this position has the potential to be highly lucrative for an attorney who is hardworking, efficient, client-focused, and motivated to grow their practice.

The structure is particularly attractive for someone who wants greater control over their earning potential than a traditional salary-based associate position provides.
