Non Attorneys, such as paralegals or legal assistants, often have several paths for career growth within a law firm, including senior or lead paralegal roles, office management, or specialized legal support positions.

Job description

Associate Attorney – Estate Planning & Administration
Carrell Blanton Ferris and Associates, PLC | Richmond Office

Grow your practice in estate planning alongside experienced attorneys in a supportive and team-driven environment.

About Us
Carrell Blanton Ferris and Associates is a respected Virginia-based law firm with a strong focus on trust and estate law. With 10 attorneys across four offices, we are committed to delivering exceptional client service while fostering a collaborative, professional, and growth-minded workplace.

Our team approach ensures our clients receive thoughtful, comprehensive estate planning, and our attorneys receive the mentorship, support, and tools needed to build a meaningful and successful career.

About the Opportunity
If you are looking to build a practice where your work has lasting impact, your growth is supported, and your contribution is valued, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

We are seeking an Associate Attorney with 3+ years of experience in legal practice, and estate planning experience preferred to join our Richmond office.

This role offers the opportunity to deepen your experience in estate planning and administration while working alongside experienced attorneys who are invested in your development. You will be part of a team that values thoughtful client relationships, strong communication, and long-term success.

What You’ll Do

  • Support attorneys in delivering comprehensive trust and estate planning services
  • Prepare legal documents and assist with client signings
  • Communicate directly with clients and support their long-term planning goals
  • Participate in seminars and community education workshops
  • Continue developing your skills within a structured, supportive environment

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

  • J.D. from an accredited law school
  • Active Virginia Bar membership or pending admission
  • Genuine interest in estate planning and client-focused legal work
  • Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative mindset
  • Willingness to grow, accept feedback, and pursue excellence

Preferred Software Familiarity

  • Microsoft Office, Outlook, Word, Excel
  • WealthDocs or similar drafting software

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary – commensurate with your experience
  • Performance-based bonuses
  • Firm-paid healthcare coverage, employee plan
  • Optional family health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Firm-paid short and long-term disability insurance
  • Firm-paid basic life insurance with option to add more
  • 401(k) with 3% non-elective employer contribution
  • Paid time off and firm holidays

Please note some benefits may be subject to a waiting period or plan updates.

Why This Role Stands Out
You will be part of a firm that values collaboration, mentorship, and long-term professional growth. This is an opportunity to build a rewarding practice while working alongside a team that is invested in your success and development.

How to Apply
Please submit your resume and a cover letter sharing your interest in estate planning and what is drawing you to explore a new opportunity at this stage in your career.

Additional materials, including writing samples and references, may be requested throughout the screening and interview process.

All inquiries and applications will be handled with strict confidentiality.

We truly appreciate the time and thought you invest in your application and look forward to connecting with candidates whose experience and goals align with this opportunity.

Carrell Blanton Ferris and Associates is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to building an inclusive and respectful workplace.
