This is an opportunity for a seasoned Family Law Attorney who wants to own cases, get into the courtroom and build toward partnership. You’ll manage sophisticated family law matters from intake through resolution, handling hearings, trials, client strategy and complex financial issues involving high-net-worth individuals, business interests and substantial marital estates.
The firm is looking for a polished, client-focused litigator who can independently run a caseload while valuing the perspective and mentorship of accomplished trial attorneys. The right person is professional but warm, confident in the courtroom and serious about building long-term client relationships and a lasting practice.

• Develop strategies for cases involving business interests, executive compensation, private equity interests, multi-entity structures and complex property division
• Collaborate directly with experienced shareholders and trial attorneys on case strategy, negotiation, mediation and litigation
• Build strong client and referral relationships while developing the foundation for a specialty, book of business or future team within the firm
Requirements

Family law litigation experience is not required, but candidates must have significant courtroom experience in areas such as business litigation or trusts and estates litigation, along with prior family law exposure through paralegal work, clerkships, or similar experience.
• Proven experience serving as the lead attorney on family law cases and independently managing matters from start to finish
• Strong courtroom experience including motions, evidentiary hearings, and trials
• Experience handling family law matters involving estates valued at $3M–$5M or more
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage an active caseload of approximately 20 or more matters

• 401(k) plan with a 4.5% employer match
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage options
• Unlimited PTO and paid holidays
• Hybrid flexibility after approximately 90 days of training with the potential to work remotely 2–3 days per week
