Who we are: Who Thrives Here: You’ve spent time in high-stakes environments where people are vulnerable. Maybe you’re a hospice nurse or social worker who’s sat with families facing end-of-life decisions. Maybe you’re a funeral director or mortician who knows how to be calm when people are falling apart. Maybe you worked in emergency medicine, mental health crisis response, or death care. You understand that competence and compassion aren’t separate things — they go together. You can listen without judgment, hold difficult conversations, and keep sensitive information confidential because you know how much it matters.
Elder law is emotional work. Our clients are navigating cognitive decline, family conflict, financial vulnerability, and sometimes exploitation. They call us scared. You won’t make the fear go away, but you can make them feel heard and safe. If that resonates with you, keep reading.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Reality of the Role
You’ll work independently much of the time. The managing attorney is frequently in client meetings, court, depositions, or focused on drafting work. The rest of the team includes virtual assistants and a law clerk — but you may be the only person physically in the office for stretches of time. This isn’t isolation, but it does mean you need to be genuinely comfortable working alone, managing your own workflow, and making judgment calls without someone hovering.
You’re not micromanaged because there’s no time to micromanage. You’re trusted to use good judgment, ask questions when you’re stuck, and own your work. The attorney is available for questions and you’ll have regular check-ins — but the day-to-day rhythm of the role is independent.
If you need constant feedback, frequent check-ins, or a busy office full of coworkers to feel engaged, this won’t be a good fit. If you’re energized by autonomy, trust, and the quiet focus of working independently — and you’ve done it before in a healthcare, caregiving, or death care setting — you’ll thrive here.

Where we are: About Sauber Legal Services LLC: We are a boutique elder law firm practicing in estate and tax planning, Medicaid and long-term care planning, probate, guardianship and conservatorship, special needs planning, financial exploitation, and litigation in those areas. Our managing attorney is one of only two Certified Elder Law Attorneys in Minnesota. We are a small team that values integrity, continuous improvement, and direct client service. Our work is challenging, meaningful, and never routine.

Requirements & Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree is a plus
• Experience in a high-stakes, high-emotion, confidentiality-driven environment
• Ability to type at least 50 WPM
• Must be located within 50 miles of Eden Prairie, MN, or willing to relocate — this is not a remote position
• Willing to submit to a background check
• Experience with legal software or case management systems is a plus but not required — willingness to learn is required
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What We’re Looking For
• Background in nursing, hospice, social work, funeral services, mental health crisis work, death care, or similar high-stakes caregiving — or equivalent experience working with people in crisis
• High emotional intelligence — you can read a room, de-escalate tension, and sit with someone else’s pain without absorbing it or shutting down
• Comfort working independently for extended periods without supervision or coworkers present
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Tech-savvy and comfortable learning cloud-based systems (Clio, Dropbox, Adobe Sign, Microsoft Office)
• Self-starter who solves problems before they become crises and asks clarifying questions rather than guessing
• Reliable, trustworthy, and discreet with confidential information
• Honest — you admit mistakes, you don’t make excuses, and you tell the truth even when it’s uncomfortable
• Radical candor — you give and receive honest feedback constructively
• A sense of humor — this work is heavy and we need to be able to laugh.

Compensation & Benefits:

• $22–$27 per hour, commensurate with experience
• Four-day work week: Monday through Thursday, 8 AM to 6 PM
• 401(k) with employer matching
• Regular check-ins and structured feedback so you always know where you stand
• A small team where your work directly impacts client outcomes — you’re not a cog in a machine
• Rare opportunity to learn elder law from one of only two certified elder law attorneys in Minnesota
• A culture that values honesty, integrity, and taking care of each other
• Soda, water, snacks, and firm lunches when the schedule allows.
