WE ARE HIRING! If you are an experienced family law attorney looking to continue your career in a collaborative and energetic environment, you should promptly apply. We want an attorney who strives to destress the process and who is as comfortable in the courtroom as at a table negotiating a settlement. Family law experience is a must as we are looking for a highly skilled attorney (5+ years) to hit the ground running and seamlessly provide the outstanding representation our clients are used to.
So are you the right fit for us? Consider the following and decide:
• You MUST demonstrate experience in taking ownership of a client's case – discovery, pleadings, motions; collaboration and mediation; pretrial hearings, motion hearings, and trials;
• You MUST conduct client meetings and recommend strategies;
• You MUST delegate work to paralegals and legal assistants and monitor their work and be comfortable being supervised on certain matters when appropriate; and
• You MUST understand billing policies/procedures and accurately track your time.
If you are still reading AND you see yourself as the right fit, that is a good first step! Now, we want to be clear on "who" we are looking for as honesty is the best (and only) policy!
• We need an attorney who can contribute to developing the strategy of a case and who knows where to find the rules of procedure to back up that case strategy.
• We need an attorney who knows how to find his or her way around the courtroom and how to project confidence and competence when dealing with people on behalf of our clients.
• If you see a case file as an opportunity to help someone build a new life, you'll like the way we think.
• Skills and experience are important and valued, but your personality, character, intelligence, and integrity are also extremely important considerations.
• If we can't count on you to show up in court on time, don't apply.
• High-maintenance, humorless, self-entitled, or self-important individuals will not succeed in our Firm and need not apply.
• We are growing, and you will be called upon to wear many hats. We need someone who does not think that the occasional need to scan your own documents is "beneath you."
Salary is commensurate with skill and experience and is negotiable. The compensation package includes base salary plus bonus compensation for production and performance. We offer a generous benefits package including health insurance, dental insurance, disability insurance, 401K + match and paid time off. We also pay for continuing legal education, bar dues, and approved voluntary memberships. All applications will be kept strictly confidential. Please send your resume, cover letter and salary requirements to [email protected], with the subject line ROCKSTAR ASSOCIATE and your last name and first initial.
