A bit about us:

We're a well-established, full-service New Jersey firm with a genuinely different culture. We're not a typical grind-it-out firm — we're a lifestyle practice that believes good lawyers do their best work when they're mentored, supported, and trusted to manage their own time. We have a billable target, but we care far more about quality work and long-term development than about clock-watching. Partners here see it as their job to feed associates work and train them properly, not throw them in the deep end.


Why join us?
  • Real mentorship. We've watched the market produce a generation of associates who were never properly trained during remote-work years. We do it differently — you'll learn directly from senior partners who are among the most respected in their fields.
  • Reasonable, quality-focused billables, applied sensibly by team rather than rigidly across the board.
  • Hybrid flexibility. Most teams are in the office more than not because that's where mentorship happens, but we're realistic about life — pick up your kids, make the soccer game, handle what you need to. As long as your team knows how to reach you, we trust you.
  • A meaningful bonus structure: tiered productivity bonuses, origination bonuses on business you bring in, and discretionary bonuses that recognize pro bono work, big trials, and exceptional contributions. On our busiest teams, these can be substantial.
  • A real path to partnership for those who want it.


Job Details

What You'll Do:

  • Manage your own caseload of matrimonial and family law matters
  • Handle client meetings, court appearances, motions, and negotiations
  • Take on increasing responsibility and autonomy as you grow
What We're Looking For:

  • Roughly 2–3 years of family law experience (more senior candidates also encouraged — see Role 2)
  • Someone who can carry cases but still wants training, guidance, and mentorship
  • Comfort with a client-facing practice that often takes you out of the office and into court
