Compensation: $80,000 - $98,000 base + performance bonuses. Salary range is based on depth and approach of experience. Candidates with experience in relationship-driven, education-based estate planning will be considered at the higher end of the range.

Benefits: 401(k) with employer match after 1 year, $300 monthly healthcare stipend (full benefits coming mid-2027), generous time off policy, and access to firm-sponsored conferences and professional training events.

Responsibilities
• Conduct one-on-one Legal Life Planning Sessions (LLPS - consultations) with prospective clients, educating and guiding them toward confident decisions (target: 60; 80% conversion rate)
