This position is designed for a new attorney who wants to learn how to actually practice law—not simply research and review documents. Strata provides hands-on training and mentorship, with increasing responsibility as the associate develops.

We practice family law with a combination of strong advocacy, strategic thinking, preparation, honesty, and emotional intelligence. We are looking for someone who is curious, hardworking, dependable, receptive to feedback, comfortable asking questions, and interested in developing into an excellent lawyer. We can teach family law; we are looking for someone who wants to learn it.
