This role is designed for a practitioner who seeks to manage a sophisticated caseload independently within a firm that prioritizes professional development, attorney autonomy, and a sustainable approach to the billable hour.

• Litigation & Advocacy: Draft legal pleadings, motions, and briefs in strict accordance with the Massachusetts Family & Probate Court Rules of Procedure; represent clients effectively in trial and evidentiary hearings.
• Case Management: Utilize advanced legal technology to manage a diverse caseload (typically 25–50 active matters), ensuring meticulous calendar management and accurate timekeeping.
• Client Relations: Maintain proactive communication with clients, managing expectations and delivering empathetic yet objective legal guidance.

Required:

• Juris Doctorate (J.D.): Degree from an accredited law school.
• Bar Admission: Active member of the Massachusetts Bar in good standing.
• Experience: 3+ years of dedicated family law/domestic relations experience, with at least 2–5 years managing a full caseload.
• Skill Set: Exceptional communication, problem-solving, and public speaking abilities; proficiency in the Microsoft Office suite.

Preferred:

• Litigation Background: Proven trial experience is highly desirable.
• Dual Licensure: Admission to the New Hampshire Bar is a significant plus.
• Subject Matter Expertise: Familiarity with Bankruptcy law.

Annual Salary: $150,000 – $180,000 (commensurate with experience)

We provide a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your financial, professional, and personal well-being:

• Financial Security: 401(k) with firm matching and a $1,000 signing bonus (following a 90-day introductory period).
• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive health insurance, a dedicated wellness budget, and generous Paid Time Off (PTO).
• Professional Support: Coverage of Bar dues, notary costs, and free Continuing Legal Education (CLE) opportunities.
