Job Description

Truce Law is looking for a senior lawyer with a successful track record representing clients in family law matters. If you have an interest in divorce conflict resolution, mediation, and mentoring the next generation of legal professionals, we invite you to apply.

Our law firm sets itself apart by marketing to clients who are looking for a low-conflict collaborative divorce, with contested divorce cases being the exception at our firm. Our firm is seeking an experienced senior attorney adept at handling a large caseload of divorce cases where most clients are looking for out-of-court settlements. Our ideal candidate has a familiarity with all aspects of the trial process, particularly drafting pleadings, motions, and notices, and helping clients work toward a resolution. If you have a passion for mentorship, creative legal problem-solving, negotiation, and peaceful conflict resolution, our senior lawyer position might be right for you.

Our team loves working for Truce Law because of our relaxed atmosphere, and focus on collaborative law, which means our attorneys aren’t regularly facing the kinds of higher conflict cases (and the associated stress). We have a diverse staff from around the world (and if you like gaming nights at Mox, we’re in!).

Apply with confidence; your application will be kept completely confidential.

  • 401(k) with 3% Firm Contribution

  • Represent clients in court proceedings as required.
  • Regularly audit your active matters and provide clients with a monthly case update (summarizing the status of their case, recent accomplishments, and forthcoming steps) to keep them informed and maintain good communication.
  • Collaborate closely with the Mentoring Attorney to brainstorm case strategies and best options for our clients.

  • About Company

    Truce Law was formed on February 14, 2018, with a focus on bringing a compassionate approach to all family law matters. We handle both amicable and litigious cases with the goal of finding a solution for the client.

    The public perception of divorce is shaped by what we see on TV, and most people have very little understanding of the divorce process and what they do see on television (e.g., Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard) leads to fear of the process and false expectations.

    Our vision is that one day the public looks first to amicable options when facing separation and family conflict, with the traditional "contested" case being the exception. In addition, it is our vision that Truce Law be the leading firm people turn to when facing family challenges.

    It is our mission to educate the public about their collaborative options when facing divorce and bring a collaborative mindset to all cases that we handle.

    Salary : $194,000 - $214,000
