Job description

I’m partnering with an established, full-service Central Florida law firm looking to hire two attorneys into its Guardianship & Elder Law practice.

For attorneys considering a different pace without stepping away from substantive, client-facing work, the firm offers a lifestyle-oriented environment and an annual billable-hour target of 1,700 hours.

The team is considering two different backgrounds:

An experienced practitioner

An attorney with experience in guardianship, elder law, Medicaid planning and/or special-needs planning who would welcome meaningful client responsibility within an established practice.

An attorney looking to change practice areas

The firm is also open to a Florida-licensed attorney with 2+ years of legal experience who wants to build a career in guardianship and elder law. Insurance-defense attorneys and litigators from other backgrounds are welcome to explore this opportunity. Prior elder-law experience is not essential for this opening.

Depending on experience, the work may include:

• Managing guardianship and elder-law matters.
• Drafting pleadings and appearing in court.
• Advising clients and families through sensitive legal issues.
• Working on Medicaid and special-needs planning matters.

For both opportunities, the firm values strong drafting and organizational skills, sound judgment, clear communication, and a genuine interest in helping elderly individuals, vulnerable adults and their families.

Active Florida Bar membership is required. Both opportunities are based in Orlando.
