A bit about us:

Based in Chicago, we are a 30+ attorney full-service firm with a general practice spanning T&E, business law and litigation, commercial and corporate work, real estate, employment, tax, and more than a dozen additional specialty areas. Our trusts and estates group counsels clients on sophisticated asset protection and wealth transfer — building personalized, flexible estate plans in close coordination with clients' financial advisors — and handles the full administration side, from estate and gift tax returns to estate and trust accountings. Because the platform is full-service, the T&E attorney isn't siloed: planning, business, and tax work feed each other and keep client relationships intact across generations.

Why join us?
  • Base salary $140k–$200k + bonus
  • Medical, dental, vision, matching 401(k)
  • Generous PTO, sick leave, and paid holidays
  • Full-service platform — T&E work cross-pollinates with the business, tax, and real estate groups, with a built-in referral pipeline
  • Direct client and financial-advisor relationships you own, not inherited file management
