About the role

Thompson Coburn LLP in Chicago seeks a Private Client Counsel with 9+ years of estate planning experience to join its Private Client practice. Ideal candidates will have a tax-focused trusts and estates background advising high and ultra-high net worth individuals, families, and closely held businesses on complex estate and gift planning, and fiduciary income tax matters. Strong technical tax expertise and the ability to serve as a trusted advisor are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
