A bit about us:



We are a boutique Boston-based law firm specializing in estate planning, probate administration, transfer tax strategy, business succession, and charitable planning. For over 50 years, our reputation has been built on lasting client relationships founded on trust, integrity, and personal attention. We pride ourselves on delivering customized legal solutions for high-net-worth individuals and families, while fostering a collaborative environment rooted in professionalism and respect. Here, you’re not just another attorney—you’re a trusted advisor.

Why join us?



Dedicated Support – Attorneys are paired with assistants at a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio, providing full administrative and drafting support. Associates are not expected to draft documents themselves, allowing them to focus on strategic client work and higher-level planning.

Client-Facing Opportunities – Associates work directly with clients from day one, gaining firsthand experience with sophisticated estate and trust matters. For those who prefer a more behind-the-scenes role, the firm offers flexibility to accommodate different working styles.

Work/Life Balance – We believe top-tier legal work and a fulfilling personal life can go hand-in-hand. The firm fosters a healthy, sustainable pace for long-term success.

Collaborative Culture – Our close-knit team thrives on mentorship, shared expertise, and mutual respect. Your voice matters here, and your growth is prioritized.

Compensation & Benefits – The firm offers a generous annual bonus structure, comprehensive medical, dental, life, STD/LTC insurance, commuting expense benefits, paid time off, and a 401(k) with matching and vesting after one year.

Path to Partnership – Associates who are driven, client-focused, and committed to excellence have a clear and supported path to partnership.

High-Caliber Work – Work with ultra-high-net-worth clients on meaningful estate, tax, and succession planning. Associates are seen, supported, and trusted as key contributors in the client relationship.
