Job Description

Our attorneys serve a limited number of clients (25–30) so they can deliver exceptional, 5-star service, while maintaining a healthy work–life balance. Our purpose as attorneys is (1) to maximize the time our clients spend with their kids, and (2) to maximize our clients’ money. Attorneys are 100% responsible for their individual caseload. To help provide clients with exceptional service, attorneys collaborate as a team, sharing information and advice with each other, and they coordinate with their paralegals to ensure clients always know what’s going on and know how to successfully navigate the divorce process. Attorneys ensure that they meet all hours and revenue requirements, that all legal work is done on time and at an exceptionally high level, and they also ensure that their clients feel cared for, heard, and constantly communicated with.

What you will be doing:

• Serve divorce clients exceptionally well through systematic, empathic communication, excellent on-time written legal work, and excellent in-court oral advocacy.
• Meet billable hours and revenue requirements by billing in real-time for all work completed.
• Coordinate with the office manager and their team leader to ensure 100% collection for work billed.
• Be 100% responsible for all aspects of their caseload, from the beginning of their cases through trial.
• Collaborate and plan key case objectives with their paralegals on a daily basis.
• Create an effective negotiation strategy to accomplish client’s primary goals, and then execute on that strategy during mediation.
• Share knowledge freely with their fellow attorney team members, as well as other firm members, so everyone can learn and improve as quickly as possible.
• Attend Friday team meetings and call every client every Friday.
• Disconnect from cases and refuse to allow client’s problems to become our problems.
• Communicate positively, openly, and honestly with their fellow team members and their colleagues. They do not engage in gossip or create drama or conflict in the office or in the broader legal community.
• Focus on creating intergenerational wealth for themselves and their families by meeting billable hour and revenue goals, and by serving clients and their colleagues exceptionally well.
• Accept correction without ego and with an honest desire to learn and improve.
• Run the company system.
• Learn how to sell and close clients so we can serve clients and their families.
• Search for opportunities to improve the lives of their colleagues.
• Arrive on time and fully prepare for every phone call, meeting, mediation, court appearance, and trial. They do not miss deadlines and they are not late.
• Provide 5-star service by making clients feel heard and understood and 100% cared for.
