Contract Probate Litigation Attorney

Guardian Probate Law Group is seeking an experienced attorney to work with the firm on a contract basis. The attorney will help the firm and its clients with estate litigation and estate administration cases. The firm is based in Brentwood, TN. This is an immediate opening.

• How does it work?

As a contract attorney, you have flexibility in the number of hours you work each week. Well have a discussion about how much you want to work and how many hours the firm needs. Based upon that, well come to an agreement on the target weekly hours. Then, we will work together to give you the appropriate number of assignments so you can meet that number. That said, since this is a contract position, we are not able to guarantee any minimum number of weekly hours.

If the attorney desires it, there may be an opportunity for the right candidate to join our team as a full-time attorney in the future, based upon the needs and growth of the firm.

• Details About the Position

As a contract attorney, you will be assigned matters to help our clients with estate administration, estate dispute, and estate & trust litigation cases, and you will be the attorney primarily responsible for the matter.

Additionally, the attorney in this position will spend most of their time on fiduciary litigation matters. If you enjoy creative problem-solving in a complex area of the law where you are continually learning new things and seeing new factual situations, you will enjoy this position.

• About the Firm

Our firm focuses exclusively on helping clients after a loved one has passed away, so the attorney must have a high emotional intelligence and be able to maintain a professional relationship with the client through the emotional ups and downs that the client will inevitably experience. We promote proactive contact with clients so that the client does not have to call our office for information, and we expect the attorney in this position to focus on that as well.

We want our attorneys to focus on being great attorneys and delivering excellent legal work and excellent service to our clients. Accordingly, this opportunity is ideal for an attorney that wants to focus on being the best attorney they can be, without having to worry about generating business, networking, or handling bookkeeping and accounting.

We have learned that our firm and our way of doing things is different than many law firms. It is not a fit for every person. If you think this position would be a fit for you, please apply.
