Associate Attorney - Trusts & Estates

Established Firm | Mentorship & Training | Real Career Growth Join a trusted, full-service estate planning firm built for attorneys who want to plant roots and build something lasting. MWC Legal Group is a well-established Milwaukee firm serving clients across estate planning, probate and trust administration, elder law, special needs planning, tax preparation, business transactional work, and fiduciary litigation. We have built a strong reputation in the Southeastern Wisconsin market by delivering skilled, prompt, and personal legal services and we are ready to add an associate attorney who is ready to take on real client work and build a career here. This is not a rotational role or a stepping stone. We are looking for an attorney who wants to set down roots here, contribute meaningfully, and build a lasting practice within our platform. In return, we offer a collaborative environment, a competitive compensation package, and a firm genuinely invested in your long-term success. About the Role The successful candidate will manage a case load across one or more of our core practice areas from the first day. We are a busy firm and the volume of work available is real. You will have meaningful client responsibility early, with experienced attorneys alongside you as you take on unfamiliar matters and new practice areas. We also expect our attorneys to invest in business development over time. If you have already started building your own client base, this is the right platform to accelerate that. If you are newer to that side of the practice, we will teach you and support your growth in it. Mentorship and Development Our attorneys learn from one another. You will work directly with shareholders who have spent their careers in trusts and estates, with real access to them on drafting questions, client strategy, and the judgment calls that only come with experience. We would rather invest in an attorney who is genuinely good and still growing than hire someone who has stopped learning.
