About this role
We are looking for a Mid-Level Trust & Estate Litigation Attorney with 4-6 years of experience to join a small but growing practice group at a well-established Silicon Valley law firm. You'll be stepping into a team that needs a next-generation leader who can handle trust litigation matters with increasing autonomy and help build out the group alongside seasoned practitioners.
What will you be doing?
Handling substantive trust and estate litigation matters (will/trust contests, breach of fiduciary duty, elder abuse, removal actions) with growing independence
Representing trustees, executors, administrators, and beneficiaries in probate litigation
Collaborating with senior attorneys on case strategy, briefing, and trial preparation
Developing direct client relationships and communication skills
Contributing to the growth and development of a small, expanding practice group
Key Requirements
4-6 years of trust and estate litigation experience — this is not a crossover role; you must already know trust litigation
Active membership in the State Bar of California (in good standing)
Strong analytical, negotiation, and communication skills
Collaborative mindset and desire to grow into a leadership role within the group
Excellent reputation for integrity and collegiality among bench and bar
