Trusts & Estates Attorneys With Experience

Williams Parker, the region's oldest law firm - with the area's largest Trusts & Estates practice group - is actively seeking experienced Trusts & Estates Attorneys to join our team in Sarasota, Florida. Our robust practice is welcoming Trusts & Estates attorneys with 3-10 years of experience to work with clients and their families, as well as attorneys with drafting experience. If you have a penchant for delivering top-notch legal work on mid-to-complex experience-level matters, and whether you are already licensed to practice law in Florida or planning to relocate and willing to sit for the Florida Bar in the near future, we'd like to hear from you.

This legal framework is part of the smooth transition of our clients’ businesses and estates to future beneficiaries and owners. You will also represent clients, or their fiduciaries, in estate and trust administration and, when necessary, in probate litigation proceedings and tax controversies involving estate and gift tax matters.
