We are looking for a dedicated and skilled professional to collaborate with us in providing exceptional legal services to our clients.

This is a great opportunity for an attorney who doesn’t want to bother with Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Chat GPT as a way to get clients. We will supply a steady caseload of contested probate matters to work on. With an Of Counsel relationship, you are able to maintain a degree of professional independence and flexibility in managing your practice. You’ll have the luxury of support staff, beautiful office space, and firm marketing without the hassle and expense.

We focus on developing estate plans for moderate to high-earning individuals, families, and business owners. We also specialize in Wills, Trusts, asset protection, wealth preservation, MassHealth/Medicaid applications, probate, and other areas of elder law such as guardianship and conservatorship. We're here to help people, and we have a process that helps make it as stress-free as possible.

What we are looking for:

• Minimum 5 years of experience in probate and estate litigation, with a focus on contested probate matters.
• Someone who is compassionate, as elder law is sensitive work.
• Someone who truly enjoys talking with and helping people.
• Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an accredited law school.
• Excellent analytical, negotiation, and communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
• Admission to the Massachusetts Bar and in good standing

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate closely with the firm's attorneys and paralegals to develop and implement effective strategies in handling contested probate cases
• Stay up-to-date with developments in probate law, regulations, and industry best practices

Benefits of the Of Counsel Relationship:

• Steady caseload: As an Of Counsel Attorney at our firm, you will benefit from a consistent stream of cases without the need to seek out clients on your own.
• Reduced overhead: You will have the advantage of working with a reputable law firm without the financial burden of advertising, hiring support staff, and maintaining the expenses of a standalone law practice.
• Collaboration and support: Enjoy the collaborative environment of our law firm, including access to resources, expertise, and the opportunity to work alongside a team of experienced estate planning attorneys.
• Flexibility: As an of counsel attorney, you will have the opportunity to work from home, but still use our beautiful conference rooms to meet clients.

If you are a talented and experienced attorney with a strong background in contested probate cases, we encourage you to apply for this unique opportunity to join our team. Pay/pay structure is negotiable and will be commensurate with experience.

Please submit your resume and cover letter.
