You Have Probably Supervised Without the Title
You are already the attorney everyone brings the hard questions to. You review the motion nobody else wants to touch, you cover the hearing when a calendar blows up, and you fix the file that arrived three weeks before trial with no strategy in it. You do all of that on top of a full caseload, and none of it shows up anywhere except in the hours you lose.
We are hiring for that work on purpose, with the title, the authority, and the structure to go with it.
What This Role Actually Is
This is a working supervisor seat. You carry your own family law caseload, and you are accountable for the quality of what the rest of the legal team produces. Both. If you want a pure management seat with no clients of your own, this is not it, and we would rather you know that now.
What makes it workable here is that the firm is built to keep the noise off your desk:
We screen hard before we sign. Every prospective client goes through real pre-screening before onboarding. When a case lands on your team, someone has already decided it was worth taking and that the client can work with us. You will not spend your supervisory time unwinding intake mistakes.
You have operations behind you. Paralegals, a dedicated intake team, and an operations function whose entire purpose is that attorneys practice law instead of chasing filings and fixing calendars. Supervision here means legal judgment and development, not calendar policing.
You get courtroom time. Family law puts you in front of judges more than almost any other practice area, and we are in court regularly. Contested hearings, evidentiary proceedings, and trials, on your own matters and backing up your team on theirs.
You know where you stand and so does your team. Our values are Excellence, Authenticity, and Respect, and authenticity here means respectful directness. Feedback is direct, and it is timely, in both directions. You will never have to decode what someone actually meant, and we will expect the same clarity from you.
We are building this seat as planned growth, with the client base already in place. This is not a scramble to cover a departure.
