Job Description

**Please refrain from contacting our office in regards to this job listing. Thank you.** If you are an experienced family law attorney with a strong passion for litigation, enjoy supporting clients through challenging life transitions and helping them create better futures, this opportunity could be an excellent fit for you. Our law firm, specializing solely in divorce and family law, currently seeks a seasoned full-time family law attorney. We are on the lookout for a dedicated individual focused on clients and possessing empathy to join our expanding team of professionals. This position is remote, offering flexibility and independence, but it requires a high level of discipline and reliability. Except for court appearances, all tasks will be conducted entirely remotely. You should be comfortable working autonomously with minimal oversight in a work-from-home setting. A minimum of 5 years of experience in Virginia Family Law, particularly in litigation, is essential, as you will be representing clients in Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William County Courts (with occasional appearances in Arlington and Alexandria). The family law litigation attorney will oversee cases from start to finish with the assistance of support staff. Successful candidates will possess strong research, drafting, negotiation, and trial advocacy skills. While managing cases is the primary duty, the ideal candidate should bring more than just legal expertise. Given that clients and potential clients are navigating a highly emotional period, you must be able to show empathy, compassion, build genuine connections with diverse individuals, and consistently deliver exceptional client service. Compensation: Salary will be based on experience level. Associates receive origination bonuses for cases they bring in. Additional quarterly bonuses are on offer based on performance. In addition to a competitive salary and bonus scheme, the benefits package includes coverage for CLEs, bar license fees, health insurance (medical, dental, vision), 401k matching, paid time off, and a technology budget for purchasing home office equipment. Responsibilities:

  • Conduct client meetings through phone and video conferences
  • Draft various marital agreements such as property settlement agreements, prenups, postnups, and co-parenting plans
  • Manage cases from initiation to trial & final resolution with support staff assistance
  • Handle cases concurrently in multiple Northern Virginia courts, including Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, Alexandria, and Prince William
  • Multitask effectively and meet multiple deadlines
  • Monitor and track case progress
  • Organize electronic client files
Qualifications:
  • Must have extensive experience handling a wide range of family law matters such as divorces, custody issues, child support, modifications, and contempt proceedings
  • Strong research, writing, and analytical skills are essential
  • Minimum of 5 years of litigation experience in family law is required
  • Proficient in computer skills beyond basic literacy
  • Passionate about family law and dedicated to working closely with clients
  • Excellent trial advocacy and negotiation skills are a must
About Company: We are a small, dynamic family law and estate planning firm positioned for aggressive growth. We operate as a team, support each other, and think outside the box. We are committed to building a unique workplace and a culture that's different from your typical law firm. We value work/life balance and a positive work environment. We believe happy clients are a direct result of happy employees. We are actively recruiting qualified professionals who possess a growth mindset. Join our modern and forward-thinking team, leveraging the latest legal tech to provide efficient and effective legal services to our valued clients.
