DescriptionWe are open to salaried arrangements, part-time or full-time schedules, and hybrid or remote work after onboarding for attorneys who can reliably attend in-person hearings and trials in Middle Tennessee.
We are seeking a
mid-career, Tennessee-licensed attorney with at least three years of litigation experience in family law and/or estate planning and probate. A background concentrated in either area is welcome. So is a background split across both.
You will manage a caseload shaped by your background and the needs of the practice, with the opportunity to grow into a blended caseload over time. Our approach prioritizes thoughtful settlement when possible and thorough preparation for court when necessary.
This role is ideal for an attorney who values structure, sound judgment, and helping clients move forward with clarity rather than conflict. We are especially drawn to people who bring good judgment to ambiguity, who are naturally curious enough to ask thoughtful questions when something is unclear, and who stay steady and keep moving rather than waiting for a perfect answer.
Base compensation ranges from $90,000 to $105,000 annually, depending on experience.
Attorneys also participate in a transparent, performance-based bonus structure. Total annual compensation typically ranges from approximately $97,000 to $127,000+, depending on quarterly collected fee receipts. Bonuses are paid quarterly and calculated from collected fees. We will walk you through the formula and a real example during interviews.
How to ApplyIf this description reflects how you want to practice law, we encourage you to apply. Please submit:
- An up-to-date resume
- A cover letter explaining your interest in the role and how your experience in family law, estate planning, and/or probate aligns with this position
- A list of professional references we may contact
- Three writing samples - litigation briefs or other relevant work product (redacted, of course)
We review applications carefully and will contact selected candidates to schedule interviews.
