Description
We are seeking an associate who's passionate about helping professionals protect their assets, children, and future in a divorce. We are not your typical small law firm. Our entrepreneurial law firm is poised for aggressive growth, and we're looking for an attorney who can hit the ground running to give clients outstanding representation. Ideal candidates have five or more years of experience as lawyers in family law and can demonstrate the ability to learn quickly. Our firm has created efficient processes to streamline workflow so case management is seamless between attorneys and the skilled paralegals who assist.
We are looking for a team player to take ownership of a client's case, including having direct contact with clients and opposing counsel, drafting pleadings, conducting discovery, and handling mediations, conferences, pretrial hearings, and trials. You need to have strong skills in the following areas: research, writing, courtroom presentation, and common technology. Skills and experience are appreciated and valued, and certainly considered, but your personality, character, intelligence, and integrity are also extremely important considerations. High-maintenance, humorless, self-entitled, or self-important individuals will not succeed in this position and need not apply.
Salary is commensurate with skill and experience and is negotiable. There will be opportunities for bonuses. We also pay for continuing legal education, bar dues, and give opportunities for personal and professional development.
We offer competitive benefits including 401(k), profit sharing, health insurance reimbursement, paid holidays, paid time off, and countless perks to show our appreciation for hard work. If you like to have fun at work with other cool people, all while doing work that's really important and valuable to the clients, this job is for you!
