Reidy Law Office LLC is a fast‑growing, high‑performance family law firm. We are hiring a Managing Attorney to lead our legal team, drive accountability (especially billable hours), and strengthen the systems that allow the legal department to operate consistently and profitably.

This is a leadership‑forward role. You will carry a select caseload—primarily higher‑value matters—but your primary responsibility is ensuring the legal team is prepared, productive, accountable, and executing at a high level.

Who This Role Is For

• Have led a team (or are ready for leadership) and can hold people accountable.
• Like structure, standards, and performance expectations.
• Can build systems and follow through until adoption is real.
• Are direct, professional, and consistent—especially in difficult conversations.
• Take ownership and do not need constant supervision.

This Is NOT a Fit If You

• Prefer minimal oversight responsibility or dislike accountability conversations.
• Want a loose or unstructured environment.
• Are looking for hybrid/remote work.
• Struggle with execution, follow‑through, or consistent leadership presence.

Compensation

$85,000 - $95,000 yearly.
