Estate Planning Associate Attorney — Build a Career, Not Just Bill Hours
Blue Ash (Cincinnati), OH · Full-time ·
Zimmer Law Firm is a boutique estate planning firm that has served Greater Cincinnati families through some of the most important decisions and transitions of their lives since 1993. We focus on estate planning, probate, trust estate settlement and Medicaid asset protection. Our Associate Attorneys practice in all three areas, developing a breadth of experience that few firms can offer.
Unlike firms built around billable-hour quotas, we’re built around relationships and meaningful work. We measure our success by our clients’ peace of mind.
We’re looking for a full-time Associate Attorney to join our team in downtown Blue Ash, a suburb just north of the City of Cincinnati. You’ll work closely with clients and families, learn the art of estate planning directly from our founder, and grow into a clear career path with us.
What you’ll do
- Meet with clients, understand their goals, and design tailored estate plans
- Learn a consultative system so prospective clients qualify themselves by uncovering what is important to them, instead of “selling” by pitching solutions.
- Draft trusts, wills, and asset protection strategies using our proprietary systems
- Help families through trust and probate estate settlement
- Build long-term client relationships and present workshops to small groups
What we’re looking for
- Licensed Ohio attorney
- At least 3–5 years of legal experience in direct estate planning. A background in probate, trust administration, and/or Medicaid asset protection planning is a plus. We will train a candidate in these practice areas who has a solid estate planning base of experience.
- Strong drafting, communication, and organizational skills
- Motivated, dependable, detail-oriented, and team-focused
- Energized by a busy, varied workload and comfortable owning your work
- Self-directed but also value knowing that structure and support are there when you need them
- An Outward Mindset — considerate, thoughtful, helpful, supportive, empowering
What we offer
- Hands-on mentorship from our founder, who genuinely teaches and coaches
- Expert training and proprietary resources through the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA), where we are the exclusive member firm in Southwestern Ohio.
- The breadth of practicing estate planning, probate/trust administration and Medicaid asset protection planning– the range that builds a complete trusts and estates lawyer
- Our marketing generates a steady flow of prospects, so you won’t spend time cold prospecting or building a book of business from scratch. We train associates on how to run consultations effectively, and incentive compensation is tied to revenue performance.
- No billable-hour quotas
- Experienced paralegals and established systems, so you focus on legal work rather than administrative reinvention
- Intellectual freedom and a real voice in the firm’s operations and growth – a firm that is building, not just maintaining
- A clear path to growth, leadership, and partnership
- Established processes, experienced support staff, and a collaborative culture.
- A collegial, supportive culture that takes pride in doing the work well
Why Zimmer Law Firm is a Great Place to Work
Client satisfaction is how we measure our success. We pride ourselves on having multi-generation client relationships. You’ll work and train shoulder to shoulder with our founder of 33 + years who is as committed to mentoring the next generation as he is to a good Dad joke!
If you’re looking for more than a job, if you’re looking for a place to grow as an exceptional trust and estates attorney, we’d like to meet you!
