Descrição da oferta de emprego

This opportunity is ideal for an attorney who enjoys managing complex family law matters, advocating for clients in court, and helping individuals navigate important life transitions.

The practice offers a collaborative environment with experienced paralegals, legal assistants, modern technology, and leadership committed to professional development and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

The successful candidate will independently manage contested family law cases, represent clients in litigation and mediation, and pursue practical resolutions while remaining prepared to advocate effectively at trial.

• Independently manage family law cases from initial consultation through final resolution.
• Represent clients in contested divorce, child custody, property division, and related family law matters.
• Prepare for and conduct hearings, contested proceedings, and trials.
• Draft and review pleadings, motions, settlement agreements, and other legal documents.
• Develop case strategies that protect clients' interests while encouraging reasonable settlements.
• Participate in mediation and negotiate agreements when appropriate.
• Provide clear legal guidance and maintain consistent communication with clients.
• Collaborate with paralegals, legal assistants, and fellow attorneys to ensure efficient case management.
• Maintain accurate case documentation and meet court deadlines.
• Achieve a billable-hour expectation of approximately 120 hours per month (360 hours per quarter).

• Proven ability to conduct contested hearings and trials independently.
• Strong background in negotiating favorable settlements and resolving disputes through mediation.
• Experience working in a collaborative, high‑volume family law practice.
