FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY

• IMMEDIATE OPENING FOR ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY:
 This is a backfill position. While “practice builders” are always sought at our firm, the successful candidate will have cases to work on immediately. We give a very desirable level of autonomy to manage their own files, but of course, also have two very experienced family law attorneys for mentoring and guidance if/when needed. We are exclusively family law, but have a wide variety of matters, with varying levels of complexity. As a matter of fact, this role is open because our one associate was just recruited away to the major firm in the state because of the cases she managed here at SLG.
• TARGET BACKGROUND/EXPERIENCE:
 Resumes of all levels of candidates are welcomed and will be reviewed. While the immediate opening is for an Associate, we are open to reviewing candidates who are more appropriate for a Senior Attorney position as well. If they have the right experience and are the right fit, positions can be created. For all candidates, they must have NJ family law experience. For those who are in firms that do multiple areas of practice, we are looking for those who have worked on family law at least 40-50% of the time.
 This is also an excellent opportunity for a solo attorney who no longer wants the headaches associated with operating a firm.
• MUST HAVE QUALIFICIATIONS TO LAND AN INTERVIEW:
 Family Law experience in NJ; Active NJ license/good standing with the NJ Bar Assoc; PA license and experience is a plus; Spanish-speaking is a plus. We are also very focused in on cultural fit of the office. Our mission, vision, and values are on our website—if it all doesn’t resonate with the candidate, they are the right fit for us. We are very protective of our culture so that we maintain a very diligent and harmonious environment.
• WORK SCHEDULE/REMOTE/HYBRID:
 Our hours are Monday – Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM and summer Fridays between Memorial Day and Labor Day (closing at 3 PM). We are flexible on WFH once someone is fully onboarded and has mastered all the systems in our office. Even when remote or living out of the immediate area, an attorney would need to be willing to travel for court for their clients as scheduled (our clients mostly come from the southern half of the state—from Burlington County down). Laptops are provided, our case management system is cloud-based, and even our phone system is operated via phone app.
Benefits:
 If an attorney comes over with a book of business, we compensate additionally for that too.
 We start at 3 weeks paid vacation, 5 sicks days, up to a $500/month ICHRA stipend (for those who get their health insurance off the state exchange), 4 fully firm-paid policies: life insurance (term), life insurance (whole), short-term disability, and long-term disability. We are shooting to have dental and vision by the first of the year and a commercial health plan in place within 6 months.
• BILLABLE HOURS REQUIREMNTS:
 Our billable hour requirement is the lowest of any firm around here—confirmed over and over again based on countless attorneys and paralegals interviewed over the past 2 years. Every attorney target is only 6 billable hours per day for each day the firm is open for business (e.g., holidays, including a paid week off at the end of the year, do not count against the billable hours target).
• TEAM SUPPORT:
 A team of Paralegals, File Management Specialists, a Finance Coordinator (billing), an Intake/Sales Manager, and various onsite and virtual administrative professionals offer excellent support for our attorneys. They get to focus on the clients!
• EXPECTED INTERVIEW PROTOCOL:
 First interview is a one-hour virtual meeting via Teams with the COO. Second interview is planned for two hours onsite with the COO, the Managing Attorney, the senior paralegal, and the Founder/CEO. We work to expedite and get on the calendar as quickly as possible.
• OTHER OPEN POSITIONS:
 We also have an immediate opening for a paralegal. NJ Family Law experience in a law firm is a must to get an interview. They need to be able to hit the ground running! Salary depends on years of NJ family law experience + a generous productivity bonus; 6 billable hours requirement per day the firm is open for business same as attorneys; Position is eligible for WFH hybrid once past the probationary period.
