Description:

A Boston-Based Law Firm seeks to grow and deepen its probate and trust administration practice by the hiring and promotion of associates capable of handling probate litigation (will contests, undue-influence claims, contested accountings, fiduciary claims, and removal actions) and uncontested probate and trust administration matters (probate proceedings, preparation and allowance of probate and trust accounts, asset distributions, guardianships, and conservatorships).

Our probate and trust administration work consists of two separate but related categories. First, our litigation partners generate and handle contested matters, for which associates are needed for analysis, drafting, case preparation, court hearings, and trials. Second, our trust and estate partners (and senior associates) focus on uncontested probate and estate matters, as well as estate planning. The successful candidate will work with both the litigation partners and the trust and estate partners.

This dual role will allow an associate to develop strong litigation skills as well as deep knowledge of probate and trust administration. This combination of skills will make the associate a major asset to the department and the firm. This is a partnership track position.

The Position:
Mid-Level Associate – 4 to 6 years
Minimum three years of hands-on, daily work in probate litigation and/or administration

Demonstrated excellence in analysis and drafting
