Prospective Employees: Experienced attorneys with a strong background in family law. Strong preference for a full-time employee hire, but a part-time employee or an attorney for an "Of Counsel" arrangement is also sought. A newly admitted attorney without any law firm, internship, or clerking experience would not be considered.
Compensation
This depends on the structure of the engagement and each attorney's skills and experience. Compensation for a very experienced full-time senior associate will be in the range of $275,000 annually. All compensation is in line with the San Francisco Bay area family law firms.
Benefits
Flexibility for in-office or remote work. Health insurance for employees working more than 30 hours per week. Health insurance monthly premiums are paid by the firm. Two weeks of PTO plus all legal holidays. A 401-K plan that has an employer contribution. The best benefit is working with and being a part of a great, small law firm that respects and values solid and ethical legal work in a very collaborative and supportive environment.
