Private client and estate planning work demands a particular kind of lawyer: technically exacting in trusts and tax, genuinely empathetic with families navigating wealth transfer, and discreet enough to hold the confidence of clients for whom privacy is non-negotiable. Finding that combination requires more than a job posting.
Sartori & Partners maps 3,000+ private client and estate planning lawyers across the United States, covering the full spectrum of specialisms — Trusts & Estates, Probate, Charitable Giving, Elder Law, and Special Needs Planning. That depth of coverage means we can distinguish between practitioners by the complexity of matters they handle, the client profiles they serve, and the collaborative style that fits a given team.
Whether a practice is building a dedicated private client group, replacing a senior partner, or a lawyer is quietly considering whether a different platform would let them do their best work, we move with the discretion this market demands — and the market knowledge to make each search count.

What private client specialisms do you recruit across?
Our coverage spans Trusts & Estates, Probate, Charitable Giving, Elder Law, and Special Needs Planning. We work across the full seniority range, from associates building their books to senior partners who anchor a practice group.
How do you find estate planning lawyers who are not actively looking?
Because we map 3,000+ practitioners across the United States, we have a clear picture of who is exceptional and who may be open to the right conversation — not just who has updated a profile. The most consequential placements in this market rarely begin with a candidate who is visibly searching.
Why does private client recruitment require a specialist search firm?
Estate planning lawyers are evaluated on judgment, discretion, and long-term client relationships — qualities that a résumé does not surface and a generalist recruiter cannot reliably assess. We understand the technical distinctions between practice profiles and can represent a move in terms that resonate with practitioners in this discipline.
