Job Description

Job Description
Job Title: Senior Associate / Senior Counsel – Trust & Estate Litigation
Location: West Los Angeles, CA (Hybrid or Remote)
Work Model: Hybrid (2 days per week onsite) or Fully Remote
Base Salary: $150,000 to $250,000 per year + Bonus
Work Model
If you're based in Los Angeles and enjoy in-office collaboration, the team follows a hybrid model with two in-office days per week. If you prefer to work remotely, you're welcome to do so from anywhere in California. A current CA Bar license is required for all candidates.

What This Firm Does
This is one of California’s top probate litigation teams, exclusively focused on complex trust, estate, and conservatorship matters. The practice is known for handling high-stakes cases with precision, tech-forward workflows, and a culture built around attorney growth, collaboration, and real mentorship.

Why This Role Stands Out
You’ll be stepping into a lead attorney position where you own your cases, drive litigation strategy, and are the go-to contact for clients. You’ll handle matters from intake through trial with support behind you but room to lead. If you’re looking to escape general civil or family law and specialize in a niche that values strategy, communication, and long-term stability, this is it. The firm is also open to training experienced litigators who are new to probate.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage your own caseload of trust and estate disputes
  • Draft pleadings, discovery, motions, and trial prep materials
  • Handle depositions, mediations, hearings, and court appearances
  • Advise trustees, beneficiaries, conservators, and personal reps
  • Make independent litigation decisions and guide client strategies
  • Collaborate with a highly skilled legal team and mentor junior attorneys

What You Need

  • At least 5 years of direct experience in probate and trust litigation
    OR
  • 8 to 10 years of civil or family law litigation with strong references and job stability
  • Strong legal writing, attention to detail, and client communication skills
  • California Bar license in good standing

Compensation and Benefits

  • Base salary from $150,000 to $250,000 plus bonuses
  • Full medical, dental, and vision premiums covered for employees
  • 401(k) with profit sharing, no match required
  • Unlimited PTO and sick time based on meeting billable targets
  • Fully remote or hybrid flexibility
  • Unlimited MCLEs, paid bar dues, and CLA memberships
  • Quarterly trainings, mentorship programs, and career development tracks
  • Summer Fridays, team events, and a supportive office culture
