Job description

Keystone Heritage Law is seeking an experienced attorney who wants to build and grow a meaningful legal practice without taking on the full operational burden of starting and running a law firm. This is an opportunity for an attorney who wants greater autonomy, meaningful participation in the value they create, and a long-term path that includes leadership and partnership opportunity.

Keystone Heritage Law is a growing firm focused on estate planning, business law, and related advisory services. We provide the infrastructure, technology, administrative support, marketing resources, and business systems that allow attorneys to focus on practicing law and developing client relationships.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

This role is designed for an attorney who wants to do more than simply receive assignments and bill hours. In this role you will have the opportunity to:

• Develop and grow a practice in areas aligned with your experience and interests
• Build and maintain your own client relationships
• Participate meaningfully in business development and client origination
• Receive competitive base compensation plus transparent, formula-based incentive compensation
• Receive enhanced compensation participation for attorney-originated work
• Operate with significant professional autonomy while benefiting from the firm's infrastructure and support
• Develop a professional reputation and client base within the firm rather than having to build an entirely separate practice
• Work toward a potential long-term partnership or ownership role based on performance, contribution, and mutual fit

A Book Of Business Is Welcome - But Not Required

We are not looking exclusively for attorneys who already have a portable book of business. While a book of business is valuable, Keystone Heritage Law is also interested in attorneys who have the experience, judgment, relationships, initiative, and entrepreneurial mindset to build one. If you have ever thought: "I could build a successful practice if I had the infrastructure and support of a good firm behind me," this may be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Ideal Candidate

• Licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania and in good standing
• Meaningful legal practice experience of 5+ years
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage legal matters
• Strong drafting, legal research, analytical and communication skills
• Comfortable managing client relationships independently
• Interested in developing business and growing a practice
• Values autonomy and accountability
• Entrepreneurial and self-motivated
• Client-focused mindset with a commitment to professionalism and integrity
• Wants a long-term professional home rather than simply another associate position
• Interested in eventually taking on greater leadership within a growing firm

Experience in one or more of the following areas is particularly valuable:

• Estate planning and estate administration
• Trusts
• Business and corporate law
• Landlord/tenant
• Business succession planning

Keystone Heritage Law is also open to experienced attorneys with complimentary practice areas who see an opportunity to develop a practice within our firm.
