Job description

T&E Senior Associate, NYC Boutique — Partnership Track, BigLaw-Caliber Work

Salary: $240,000 - $275,000 per year

A bit about us

We're a fast-growing boutique law firm in the heart of Manhattan, built on the idea that sophisticated legal work and a human-sized team aren't mutually exclusive. Our private wealth group was founded years ago by a BigLaw-trained partner and has grown into one of the busiest high-net-worth estate planning practices of its size in the city. We're profitable, growing roughly 30% year over year, and still small enough that everyone is known by name, not headcount.

Why join us?

• Real ownership — run matters independently and own client relationships from day one, not year five.
• True HNW substance — grantor trusts, GRATs, family LLCs, complex succession and trust administration, not template wills.
• A genuine partnership track — non-equity to equity, with origination credit built in early (15–20%).
• A sustainable billing environment — roughly 1,800-hour expectation; real work without the BigLaw grind.
• Built by a partner who wants to bring people up with him, with visibility and client-facing responsibility from the start.
