Job description

READY TO ADVANCE YOUR ESTATE PLANNING CAREER AND ESCAPE THE GRIND?

Are you ready to escape the high-pressure world of downtown and westside LA law firms? Enjoy working on sophisticated cases but craving more work-life balance and a friendlier, more personal environment? We may be the perfect fit for you.

We’re a boutique Trusts and Estates firm near the beach, serving the vibrant, affluent communities of the South Bay (Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, Redondo, and the PV Peninsula). Our clients — entrepreneurs, doctors, executives, and real estate pros — trust us to safeguard their hard‑earned wealth and legacies. They rely on our expertise to navigate the complexities of estate and tax planning and count on our compassion to protect their families’ futures.

Here’s the kicker: we do this while embracing a balanced lifestyle— no downtown grind, and no cutthroat atmosphere. We believe the best legal minds deserve to thrive, both professionally and personally. Our office is just minutes from the beach in Torrance, where we balance challenging, meaningful work with an environment that’s more supportive and people-focused.

What We’re Looking For

• A top‑notch trusts and estates attorney with 3+ years of experience in estate planning and administration, who loves working directly with clients.
• Someone who thrives in a more personalized environment and can handle complex legal matters for high‑net‑worth clients with minimal supervision.
• A lawyer who is self‑sufficient and dependable, appreciates the details, is tech‑savvy, marketing‑oriented, and eager to take on significant responsibility in shaping estate strategies for affluent families.
• Empathy and people skills — you see a “file” as a family’s future and take pride in understanding their unique personal stories and challenges.

What We Offer

• A smaller, service‑oriented team where your work truly matters, and your contributions are recognized and appreciated.
• Sophisticated, high‑level estate planning work without the migraine‑inducing commute downtown or the impersonal big‑firm bureaucracy.
• Real work‑life balance with time to enjoy living near the beach.
• Competitive compensation with bonus potential, generous benefits, and a workplace culture that promotes growth and teamwork.

If you’re ready to trade the grind for an opportunity to do meaningful work for high‑level clients in a supportive, family‑oriented environment, send us your application today!

Compensation: $140,000 - $180,000 yearly
