Job description

• Join a well-established, exclusively family law practice with deep roots across New Jersey — a firm that has built its reputation on empathetic, high-quality client representation
• Work on a genuinely varied caseload: divorce, custody and parenting time, equitable distribution, domestic violence, prenuptial agreements, support matters, and more — no two days look the same
• Hybrid schedule with 2 days of remote work per week — real flexibility built into the culture, not just the handbook
• Competitive base salary with bonus potential
• Multiple office locations across NJ (Pennington, Cranford, Parsippany) — geographic flexibility for the right candidate
• A collegial, supportive environment where attorneys are valued contributors, not just billable hours
• The chance to build meaningful client relationships and genuinely make a difference for people navigating some of the most difficult moments of their lives

Location: This is a hybrid role based out of the Pennington, NJ office (candidates for Cranford or Parsippany will also be considered). The team works in-office three days per week with two days remote — a flexible structure that supports both collaboration and work-life balance.

Note: This role requires an active New Jersey Bar license and a minimum of 2 years of hands-on family law experience. Candidates without both will not be considered.
