  • Work closely with families navigating sensitive healthcare, financial, and end-of-life planning concerns
  • Maintain strong relationships with clients, referral sources, and internal team members
  • Provide clear, compassionate legal guidance in a way clients and families can understand and trust
  • Support the Estates Department's collaborative approach while independently managing client consultations and matters

Requirements
