Job description

A well-established and growing Family Law Firm in Chesterfield is seeking a Family Law Associate (2–5 years experience) who wants to build a long-term career in a high-quality, supportive environment.

This is not a volume-driven, burnout-style practice. This is a firm that believes excellent advocacy and strong family values can coexist.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Compensation: $100,000–$110,000 (Based on Experience)

Competitive base salary aligned with experience and demonstrated family law capability.

This role has a strong bonus structure on a weekly basis.

Reasonable Billables — 1,000 Hours Annually

Approximately 20 hours per week. The firm prioritizes quality work over grinding volume.

Early Fridays

Hit your weekly goal of 6 billable hours per day and you’re out of the office at 3:00 PM on Fridays.

True Family-Oriented Culture

Every partner has a family of their own. Work-life balance isn’t lip service — it’s embedded into how the firm operates.

Strong Support Staff

7 attorneys supported by 3 experienced paralegals, allowing you to focus on strategy, litigation, and client advocacy.

You’ll handle a variety of family law matters primarily in St. Louis County and St. Charles County, including:

• Divorce and custody matters
• Child support
• Modifications
• Related family law litigation

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Has 2–5 years of Missouri family law experience
• Is licensed and in good standing with the Missouri Bar
• Is confident in court and comfortable managing cases
• Wants autonomy, mentorship, and long-term growth
• Fully on-site (5 days/week) in Chesterfield
• Potential hybrid flexibility after 6 months
• 2 personal days
• Sustainable, realistic workload expectations

The Ideal Candidate

You’re a strong communicator, confident litigator, and motivated to grow within a firm that values professionalism, reputation, and longevity over churn.

If you’re looking for a place where you can do meaningful work, build your practice, and still be present for your own family — this is the opportunity for you.
