Trusts & Estates Attorney

Trusts & Estates Attorney A law firm is seeking a Trusts & Estates Attorney for its New York City office to support its expanding private client services practice. This is a strong opportunity for a mid-level attorney seeking a collaborative, entrepreneurial platform with meaningful cross-selling opportunities and firm support.
