Build an Extraordinary Career in Elder Law
Sophisticated law. Meaningful work. Extraordinary careers.
The practice of elder law is unlike any other area of law. Every day, we help families navigate aging, disability, long-term care, estate planning, and life's most important transitions. Our work combines sophisticated legal analysis with genuine human impact.
Associate Attorney
Anderson Elder Law is seeking an attorney to join our growing elder law, estate planning, and special needs planning practice in Media, Pennsylvania.
This is not a traditional trusts and estates practice. Our attorneys handle sophisticated estate planning, elder law, Medicaid planning, special needs planning, guardianships, estate and trust administration, and long-term care planning. We work side-by-side with elder care coordinators, social workers, public benefits specialists, paralegals, and experienced legal professionals because helping families through aging and disability takes more than excellent legal documents alone.
Who We Are Looking For
We are not looking for a specific number of years of experience. We are looking for exceptional potential and exceptional fit.
-
You might be an attorney with one or two exceptional years of experience who learns quickly and wants to become one of the best elder law attorneys in the country.
-
You might be a trusts and estates attorney looking for a more meaningful, collaborative, and sophisticated practice.
-
You might be an experienced elder law attorney ready to mentor others and help lead a growing firm.
Curiosity, judgment, humility, intellectual rigor, compassion, and leadership potential matter more than a resume alone.

Direct mentorship from nationally recognized elder law attorneys, including a Certified Elder Law Attorney, ACTEC Fellow, and national speakers and authors.

Elder Care Coordinator | Geriatric Care Manager
Anderson Elder Law is seeking an experienced aging professional to join our interdisciplinary Elder Law and Life Care Planning team in Media, Pennsylvania.
This is not traditional case management. Our Elder Care Coordinators work alongside elder law attorneys to help older adults and families navigate complicated decisions involving care, housing, Medicare, public benefits, long-term care, family dynamics and transitions across the continuum of care. The relationship does not end when the immediate crisis passes: our ECCs remain involved as circumstances change and the family’s plan evolves.
What You Will Do
-
Assess changing care needs, risks, support systems and living options.
-
Help families evaluate and implement home care, senior living, rehabilitation, skilled nursing, memory care and hospice options.
-
Advocate with healthcare providers, facilities and care communities.
-
Participate in care conferences and difficult family decision-making.
-
Help clients understand Medicare coverage issues, Part D/prescription concerns and available public-benefit resources.
-
Identify Medicaid, Veterans-benefit and related planning issues and coordinate them with our legal team.
-
Support family caregivers and surrogate decision-makers.
-
Maintain an ongoing relationship with clients as needs and circumstances change.
-
Build productive relationships with aging-services and healthcare professionals in the community.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for a seasoned professional who can walk into a complicated aging situation, understand what matters, communicate clearly with the family and move the situation forward.
-
At least three years of substantive professional experience with older adults and families; five or more years is strongly preferred.
-
Experience in geriatric care management, social work, nursing-home administration, senior living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, hospice, community aging services or a related field.
-
Strong knowledge of the continuum of care and how families actually navigate it.
-
Excellent assessment, problem-solving, advocacy and communication skills.
-
Strong organization, documentation and follow-through.
-
Ability to work independently in the community while collaborating closely with attorneys and other professionals.
-
Working knowledge of Medicare and familiarity with Medicaid or other public benefits affecting older adults.
-
Local travel is required.
This May Be a Different Kind of Opportunity You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you are a current or former care professional who enjoys solving care problems, working with residents and families, and navigating long-term care - but no longer wants 24/7 responsibility for running a facility, meeting facility requirements for discharge or quota - we would particularly welcome a conversation. The judgment and operational knowledge developed in long-term care can translate exceptionally well to this role.
Why Anderson Elder Law
Our work is built around three connected areas: Estate Planning, Care Planning and Asset Protection Planning. Our ECCs bring the aging and care expertise; our attorneys bring the elder-law, public-benefits and planning expertise. Together, the team can address problems that neither discipline can solve as effectively alone.
-
Longitudinal relationships with clients and families rather than one episode of care.
-
Sophisticated, interdisciplinary work with experienced elder law professionals.
-
Opportunity to use judgment and professional expertise, not simply process referrals.
-
Meaningful interaction with providers, senior-living communities and professional referral sources.
-
A growing practice committed to innovation, technology and high-quality client service.
