Job Description
Our growing law firm is seeking to add a motivated, team-oriented Estate Planning Lawyer to make an immediate impact on day 1.
We are seeking an experienced Estate Planning Lawyer with at least 3 years of progressive experience in estate planning and probate. This lawyer must be capable of managing client matters with autonomy and minimal oversight but is comfortable working within an existing, proven team-based practice model. We do not expect this lawyer to do marketing or business development - we want a hard-working, technical expert for our growing team.
As a family-focused with flexible, hybrid work environment, Sheryll Law P.C. offers a competitive salary and compensation package. We are a team-oriented firm with a focus on providing client-centered, relationship-driven estate planning services to individuals, families, and business owners in the Suffolk County area, Nassau County area and throughout the state of New York. We are growth-minded and focused on expanding throughout the state in the near future.
We put the client experience and relationship with our firm first, above all else, and we're looking for an attorney who enjoys:
- Working directly with clients in creating and implementing comprehensive and complex estate planning strategies and the funding of the same
- Overseeing the completion of client legal plans, including Wills, Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Deeds, and Corporate Documents
- Working as part of a team
- Legal technology and innovation
- Pushing against the status quo and focusing on the practical aspects of estate planning
- Always doing the right thing for clients
- Open and transparent feedback and communication, and being rewarded for exceeding expectations
The ideal candidate will have significant experience working in law firms that practice estate planning and probate as the primary or only practice area(s), meeting with clients, and involvement in consultation meetings, experience drafting and reviewing estate plans, and conducting signing meetings. The ideal candidate will be a stellar ambassador for the firm in all client interactions.
We are seeking a candidate with progressive experience, not someone who has had a year of experience seven times over. We expect candidates to be able to completely describe the intention and purpose of different complex planning strategies, including tax-based estate planning techniques. The ideal candidate thinks outside the box and can diagnose any poorly drafted or implemented estate plan without issue, and recommend opportunities to remedy the issues.
The ideal candidate will be driven to exceed expectations and contribute to the growth of the firm in a meaningful way. Compensation for the right candidate will include:
- Competitive Salary
- PTO
- 401(k) with generous employer match
- Health insurance (employee premium paid 100%)
- Long-term and short-term disability (employee premium paid 100%)

- Never wear a suit or tie again
Compensation:
$90,000 - $151,000 yearly
Responsibilities:
- Being a direct point of contact for clients on the creation and implementation of their respective estate planning strategy in a way that will make the client want to leave a 5-star Google Review with your name in it
