Estate Administration Partner

Location: New York

Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP is a full-service, rapidly growing, and entrepreneurial law firm focused on an interdisciplinary approach to the practice. Our team is composed of thought leaders across a variety of practice areas, including some of the nation’s leading voices on web3, taxation, and a variety of other fields. We bring together experts across all of our departments to achieve extraordinary results which would not be possible at a more narrowly focused firm.

With us, respect, appreciation, and quality of life come first and foremost. We care deeply about the people we bring into our firm and offer a unique emphasis on professional development, marketing, and overall balance. We work collaboratively across the entire firm to drive client success.

We continue to experience significant growth and require the assistance of an Estate Administration Partner to join our Estate Administration Department. This Partner can join us in any office located in New York:
Manhattan, Rockville Centre, Mount Kisco, or Hauppauge. For the right candidate, we would also consider a fully remote arrangement, though the expectation will be a hybrid schedule involving roughly half the time spent in office.
Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in both leading and managing the Estate Administration department, including workflow oversight, strategic development, client communications, and mentorship of younger team members
• Manage caseload of technically complex and high-dollar estate matters across the State of New York and beyond
• Actively contribute to business development, networking, and the firm’s growth strategy
• Maintain healthy client relationships and uphold the firm’s high standards of service and professionalism

Required:

• Several years of law firm experience in a role requiring supervision of other team members and primary responsibility for the management and progression of estate administration matters in Surrogate’s Courts across New York
• A strong foundation of technical knowledge in the estate administration field, an inclination to engage in thought leadership and further professional development, and a baseline familiarity with how tax issues factor into estate administration with a desire to learn and grow regarding tax concepts
• A demonstrated history of providing consistent client service, solving problems as they arise to swiftly course-correct, setting forth systems and processes, and escalating issues to higher levels of the organization on an as-needed basis

Salary Range: $170-260K
