Support a Growing New York Estate Planning & Elder Law Firm

Estate and Elder Law Solutions is a well-established New York law firm focused exclusively on estate planning and elder law. For more than 15 years, we've helped individuals and families protect their assets, preserve their legacies, and prepare for the future through personalized legal guidance and exceptional client service.

We're looking for an experienced attorney located outside the United States to join our team in a remote legal support role. This position is ideal for an attorney who enjoys legal drafting, legal research, document preparation, organization, and supporting attorneys behind the scenes.

This is not a litigation role, and you will not be independently practicing U.S. law.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this position means consistently producing accurate, well-organized, and polished legal work with exceptional attention to detail. You're dependable, proactive, and capable of managing multiple projects while meeting deadlines and maintaining excellent communication with the team.

Your work allows the firm's attorney to focus on advising clients, knowing every document has been prepared carefully and thoroughly.

Why Join Estate and Elder Law Solutions?
