Job description

About the Opportunity

Become the face of an established Elder Law and Estate Planning firm in your local New Jersey market!

We're partnering with a respected New York-based law firm with 36 years of experience and 12 established offices as it expands into New Jersey.

This is a unique ground-floor opportunity for experienced attorneys who want to grow their practice with the resources and support of an established firm behind them. You'll have the opportunity to become the face of the firm in your local market, supported by an established reputation, dedicated marketing, and a steady stream of clients.

The firm plans to initially open three New Jersey offices, with a long-term vision of statewide expansion:

• Paramus / Woodcliff Lake
• Morristown / Short Hills

Attorneys will play an integral role in establishing the firm's local presence, building meaningful client relationships, and educating their communities through regular seminars.

This opportunity is ideal for a compassionate, entrepreneurial attorney seeking professional growth, meaningful autonomy, and the support of an established firm.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

• Established Client Pipeline: Benefit from the firm's established reputation, marketing resources, and ongoing client generation.
• Local Visibility: Become the face of the firm in your territory, supported by direct mail, newspaper advertising, and community outreach.
• Professional Growth: Play a meaningful role in launching and developing the firm's New Jersey presence, with opportunities for long‑term growth.
• Community Engagement: Educate individuals and families through regular seminars, helping them navigate important estate planning and elder law decisions.
• Client-Centered Practice: Join a firm focused on compassionate representation and a flat-fee model rather than traditional hourly billing.
• Established Infrastructure: Enjoy the autonomy of developing your local practice with the resources, experience, and operational support of an established multi‑office firm.

Key Responsibilities

• Advise clients on elder law, estate planning, Medicaid planning, and related legal matters.
• Develop and implement comprehensive estate plans tailored to clients' individual needs.
• Guide clients and their families through complex legal and financial planning decisions.
• Conduct regular educational seminars within your designated territory.
• Establish a strong local professional presence and build lasting client relationships.

Qualifications

• Active admission to the New Jersey Bar.
• Minimum of 5 years of relevant legal experience.
• Strong background in Elder Law, Estate Planning, and Trusts & Estates.
• Experience with Medicaid planning required.
• Probate and estate administration experience is a plus.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and client relationship skills.

Salary and Other Compensation

The annual base salary for this position is $150,000–$190,000, depending on experience and qualifications.

Factors that may affect compensation within this range include geography, market conditions, skills, education, experience, and other qualifications of the successful candidate.

The firm offers the following benefits, subject to applicable eligibility requirements:

• Medical insurance
• Vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan with employer match

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is more than a traditional Elder Law and Estate Planning position. It's an opportunity to help establish a respected firm's presence in a new market while enjoying the resources and support of an organization with decades of experience.

You’ll have the autonomy and visibility of a local practice leader, backed by an established brand, dedicated marketing, and a consistent client pipeline.

For an attorney who enjoys practicing Elder Law and Estate Planning, connecting with the community, and making a meaningful difference in clients’ lives, this offers an exciting next step in their career.
