Job description

Family Law Associate Attorney Job in Lancaster, PA

Divorce and custody matters from the first consultation through trial, in a firm across the street from the courthouse.

Lancaster Law Group is seeking an Associate Attorney who is interested in developing a career and building a practice in family law.

We are a small Lancaster-based law firm dedicated exclusively to family law. Our practice focuses primarily on divorce, equitable distribution, child custody, support, and related family law matters. We are looking for an attorney who wants the opportunity to gain meaningful experience, work directly with clients, and develop their own practice within a small-firm environment.

The Opportunity

This position is well suited for an attorney who is genuinely interested in family law and wants to become an experienced and trusted family law practitioner. Rather than being one attorney among many in a large firm, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to take an active role in cases, develop courtroom experience, build relationships with clients, and grow professionally alongside an established family law practice.

The associate will work on divorce and child custody matters from the initial client consultation through negotiation, settlement, and litigation. Responsibilities will include:

• Representing clients in divorce and child custody proceedings
• Appearing at conferences, hearings, and other court proceedings
• Drafting pleadings, motions, agreements, correspondence, and other legal documents
• Conducting legal research and preparing for hearings and trials
• Communicating directly with clients and opposing counsel
• Assisting with negotiation and resolution of family law disputes
• Managing an individual caseload with support from the firm
• Developing relationships and building a long-term family law practice

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for an attorney who is:

• Admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania, or eligible for admission
• Interested in concentrating their practice in divorce, child custody, and family law
• A strong writer and communicator
• Comfortable working directly with clients
• Interested in developing litigation and courtroom skills
• Professional, dependable, organized, and able to manage multiple matters
• Interested in working in a collaborative small-firm environment
• Motivated to develop their own reputation, client relationships, and practice over time

We are particularly interested in finding the right attorney who wants to learn family law and develop into an accomplished family law practitioner. This is an opportunity for an attorney to join our firm out of law school and build a career.

Why Lancaster Law Group?

Lancaster Law Group offers an opportunity to practice in a small firm devoted exclusively to family law, where an associate can receive hands-on experience and become meaningfully involved in cases early in their career.

We are looking for someone who wants more than simply an associate position. Our goal is to find an attorney who wants to build a practice, develop professionally, and become an important part of the firm over the long term.

If you are an attorney interested in divorce and child custody work and would like the opportunity to grow your practice in a small, focused family law firm in downtown Lancaster, we would like to hear from you.
