What are the responsibilities and job description for the Estate Planning & Successions Attorney position at Morrison Law Group, PLC?
Morrison Law Group is seeking an experienced Louisiana attorney to join our established estate planning practice.
We’re looking for a self-starter with a strong work ethic, exceptional attention to detail, solid knowledge of Louisiana estate and succession law, and the ability to take ownership of matters and keep them moving. Just as important, you must be good with people—someone who listens well, communicates clearly, and earns clients’ confidence.
If you know estate law, care about getting the details right, follow through, and genuinely enjoy working with clients, we’d like to meet you.
What You'll Do
This is a client-facing role where you'll take ownership of estate planning and succession matters from the initial meeting through completion.
- Meet with clients, provide legal guidance, and design estate plans tailored to their goals
- Draft and review wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other estate planning documents
- Handle Louisiana successions and estate administration matters
- Work closely with our paralegals and staff to keep matters accurate, organized, and moving forward
Who We're Looking For
You must be licensed to practice law in Louisiana and in good standing. Experience in estate planning, successions, or trusts is strongly preferred.
We're looking for an attorney who is:
- Driven and accountable — a self-starter who takes ownership, follows through, and keeps matters moving
- Exceptionally detail-oriented — you understand that accuracy matters and take pride in getting the work right
- Knowledgeable — you have a solid foundation in Louisiana law and the ability to confidently handle estate planning and succession matters
- Good with people — you listen well, communicate clearly, and can explain complex legal issues in a way clients understand
- Organized and efficient — you can manage a busy caseload, competing priorities, and deadlines without sacrificing quality
- A team player — you work independently but collaborate well with attorneys, paralegals, and staff
