Description:
Join Sudden Wealth Protection Law, where your leadership will drive a high‑performing probate and estate practice. This role is for an experienced Arizona‑licensed attorney who loves helping clients, building strong teams, and taking ownership of running a smooth, accountable operation. You will carry a focused caseload while leading attorneys and paralegals day‑to‑day to ensure every matter moves forward, deadlines are met, and clients always know what is happening in their case.

The firm uses a modern tech stack and fractional operations support so you can focus on strategy, advocacy, and coaching the team instead of putting out fires. Our practice is dedicated to helping clients navigate complex estate planning, trust, and probate matters with clarity and empathy, and you'll have meaningful input into how the practice grows and delivers on that promise. You'll have true flexibility to work remotely with structured collaboration, along with clear opportunities for professional growth and potential practice‑group‑level leadership. If you are ready to make a measurable impact on both client outcomes and firm performance, this role is designed for you.

Oversee day-to-day operations of the law firm, ensuring effective workflow, utilization of technology (e.g., Lawmatics, Clio Manage, WealthCounsel, etc.), and process improvement across all client matters.

Supervise and mentor attorneys, paralegals, and support staff; assist with professional development, conduct performance evaluations, provide guidance on legal strategy, and maintain high standards of work ethic and collaboration.
Support in talent acquisition, onboarding, training, and HR functions, including hiring, staff reviews, promotions, and compensation recommendations.
Support in developing and enforcing firm policies and procedures regarding compliance, risk management, client confidentiality, and regulatory requirements.
Support or lead in process optimization projects, including the integration and effective setup of legal technology platforms (CRM, project management, document automation, etc.) to maximize efficiency and support scalable growth.
Serve as a key representative for client relations and public relations, fostering internal and external relationships, addressing client needs, and resolving conflicts.
Support in overseeing budgeting, financial planning, resource allocation, and efforts to improve cost containment without sacrificing service quality.
Support diversity, inclusivity, and team-building efforts to create a collaborative and supportive work environment.
Ensure ongoing legal education, keep the team apprised of relevant changes in law, and promote a culture of continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

Licenses to practice law in Arizona.
Significant legal experience, ideally 7+ years including attorney supervision, litigation or transactional practice, and leadership roles in law firm management.
Demonstrated management and mentorship skills, with prior experience in overseeing legal teams or professional staff preferred.
