Full Job Description
Description

We 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 Tennessee-licensed attorney with at least three years of litigation experience. Family law experience is strongly preferred. Experience in estate planning and probate is a valued addition, as this role includes a blended caseload over time.

You will manage primarily family law matters from consultation through resolution, while supporting estate and probate cases as assigned. 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. Base compensation ranges from $90,000 - $105,000 annually, depending on experience.

Attorneys are also in a transparent, performance-based bonus structure. Total annual compensation typically ranges fromapproximately $97,000 - $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.

After onboarding, attorneys may work remotely or in a hybrid arrangement, provided they can reliably attend assigned in-person hearings, mediations, and trials in Middle Tennessee.

We also provide:
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Generous paid time off
  • 401(k) with employer contributions
  • CLE and professional development support
  • Disability and life insurance
  • Specific compensation details will be provided during the offer process.


How to Apply

If this description reflects how you want to practice law, we encourage you to apply. Resume and cover letter: An up-to-date resume and a thoughtful cover letter explaining your interest in the role and how your experience aligns with this position. References: A list of professional references we may contact. Documents: Writing sample, litigation brief, or other relevant work (optional but appreciated). We review applications carefully and will contact selected candidates to schedule interviews.
