Estate Planning Attorney

Partner / Partner Group – Private Client

Global Law Firm with a Boutique Feel | Multiple U.S. Locations

Our client, a global law firm with a boutique feel, is seeking to add a Partner or Partner Group to its market-leading Private Client practice in the United States.

For over 100 years, the firm has represented successful individuals and families, establishing itself as one of the few truly global private client law firms dedicated to the personal and private capital needs of high-net-worth individuals and families. With offices across the U.S., Europe, and Asia-Pacific, the practice provides integrated, cross-border advice that most domestic firms cannot match.

Practice Overview

The team advises on a wide range of matters, including:

• Estate planning, wills, and succession
• Wealth structuring, tax and estate planning
• Family and business governance
• Trusts, foundations, and private trust companies
• Probate, estate administration, and trust management
• Planning for vulnerable persons and mental capacity issues

Clients include senior executives, entrepreneurs, multi-generational families, family offices, and some of the world’s wealthiest individuals. Many engagements are domestic, while others involve complex, cross-border interests requiring seamless coordination across jurisdictions.

Candidate Profile

• Established partner-level private client practitioner, or a partner group seeking a new platform.
• Strong client relationships among high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families.
• Proven experience in trusts & estates, succession planning, or related wealth structuring work.
• Interest in leveraging a global, cross-border platform while enjoying a collaborative, boutique culture.

The Opportunity

• True hybrid flexibility: 3 days per week in-office.

• Partners: ~1,400 hours
• A platform with unmatched global reach and the ability to serve clients across jurisdictions.
• The chance to grow alongside a team consistently recognized as a leader in private client work worldwide.
