Job Description

Williams Parker, the region's oldest law firm - with the area's largest Trusts & Estates practice group - is actively seeking experienced Trusts & Estates Attorneys to join our team in Sarasota, Florida. Our robust practice is welcoming Trusts & Estates attorneys ideally with 3-10 years of experience to work with clients and their families, as well as attorneys with drafting experience.
