Who We Are

At The Estate Lawyers, we fiercely protect trustees from getting sued and beneficiaries from getting screwed. Based in Southern California and rapidly expanding, we are on a mission to become the largest and most respected trust and estate litigation law firm in the state.

We are a results-based team of litigation professionals known for our precision, power, and integrity among clients, judges, and referral partners alike.

About This Role

As a Litigation Associate Attorney, you will work under the direction of a partner to manage a high-value caseload of trust and estate disputes from initial filing through resolution. You will be expected to take ownership of your cases—drafting persuasive pleadings, managing discovery, writing strong motions, taking and defending depositions, and contributing to trial strategy.

Who This Role Is Not For:

· You prefer a slower-paced environment and need frequent reminders to stay on top of tasks and deadlines.

· You find direct feedback challenging or are still developing your comfort level with open, constructive communication.

Why Join The Estate Lawyers?

We're not your typical law firm. Here's what sets us apart:

• Clear path to leadership – You'll have mentorship, feedback, and the opportunity to grow toward partnership.
• Compensation that rewards excellence – Competitive base salary + bonuses based on performance and impact.
• Forward-thinking culture – We embrace technology, systems, and structure so our team can do their best work.

• Values-driven team – We live by our core values: Stay Hungry, Radical Candor, Radical Respect, Team Win/Client Win, and No Jerks Allowed.

At The Estate Lawyers, we don't just practice law—we elevate it.

What You'll Need to Succeed

• Active California Bar license in good standing
• 3–8 years of litigation experience (including depositions, court appearances, and motion practice)
