A nationally recognized, full-service law firm with a strong presence throughout the Southeast is seeking an experienced Trusts & Estates Partner to join its West Palm Beach office. The firm represents individuals and families in sophisticated estate planning, trust administration, wealth transfer, and tax planning matters.

The firm is looking for a Trusts & Estates attorney with a track record of advising high-net-worth individuals and families on sophisticated estate planning, trust administration, wealth preservation, gift and estate tax planning, and business succession matters.

The ideal candidate brings an established practice, deep client relationships, and a proven ability to originate new business while providing top-tier client service — particularly within South Florida's growing base of high-net-worth families and family offices.

Qualifications

• J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar admission (or eligibility for admission) in Florida
• Significant experience in sophisticated trusts and estates planning for high-net-worth individuals and families
• Demonstrated business development skills and an established professional network, ideally within the South Florida market

Partnership Opportunities

Equity Partner

• Candidates with a self-sustaining portable book of business of approximately $1 million or more will be considered for equity partnership upon joining
• Ideal candidates maintain billing rates of $600+ per hour or have the ability to support or increase billing rates within the firm's platform

Income Partner

• Candidates with an established but growing practice are encouraged to apply
• Compensation is based on several factors, including portable book of business, billing rate, expected annual billable hours, and overall experience and practice potential
• Attorneys with books below the equity threshold but strong long-term growth potential will be considered for the Income Partner track

Position Highlights

• Hybrid/remote schedule with 3 days per week in office
• Strong opportunities for cross-selling and collaboration with the firm's established corporate, tax, real estate, and litigation practices
• Flexible partnership structure with clear paths for growth
• Competitive compensation aligned with practice size and performance
• Robust marketing, business development, and administrative support
