Litigation Attorney

Senior Litigator Opportunity

Our client has been one of Northern Virginia's most trusted family law advocates - a determined litigator in the courtroom and a steadfast counselor to clients navigating life's most difficult moments. Now, our client's most ambitious growth phase, we are extending our practice to an elite litigator who is ready to do the most meaningful work of their career. This is not a typical lateral move. It is an invitation to step into a role with real autonomy, real cases, real clients - and real compensation that reflects the caliber of the work.

The Opportunity

• Built for the Litigator Who Wants More
• We are seeking a Virginia-licensed family law attorney with 4-7 years of litigation experience to join our growing team as a senior litigator. From day one, you will carry an active, independent caseload across the full spectrum of domestic relations matters - from high-conflict custody battles to complex equitable distribution of significant marital estates.
• If you have been under-supported at your current firm, capped in your compensation, or simply ready for a practice that matches your ambition and skill, this is the role that changes that.

Practice Areas

• The Full Spectrum of Family Law Litigation
• Contested & Uncontested Divorce
• Child Custody & Visitation
• Child Support & Enforcement
• Spousal Support / Alimony
• Equitable Distribution
• Separation Agreements
• Protective Orders
• Post-Decree Modifications
• High-Conflict Family Litigation
• Related Domestic Relations Matters
• Maryland family law experience is a valued plus, as we serve select Maryland jurisdictions. However, an active Virginia Bar license is the only jurisdictional requirement for this role.

Geographic Footprint

• Rooted in Northern Virginia's Most Active Courts
• Primary litigation will be conducted across Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Prince William County, and surrounding Northern Virginia jurisdictions, with select Maryland county appearances as case demands require.
• Candidates based in or near Fairfax County are strongly preferred, as proximity to our clients and courts is central to delivering the quality of service our clients expect.

Qualifications

• Active Virginia Bar license in good standing
• 4-7 years of family law litigation experience
• Strong, documented courtroom and hearing experience
• Ability to independently manage a full litigation caseload
• Experience drafting pleadings, motions, discovery, and settlement agreements
• Exceptional client-communication and management skills
• High organisational capacity and sound case-management judgement

Preferred Qualifications

• Active Fairfax/Northern Virginia court experience
• Maryland Bar license or meaningful Maryland exposure
• Trial experience through verdict or final hearing
• High-net-worth or complex asset matter experience
• High-conflict custody and parental relocation matters
• Established professional reputation in Northern Virginia

Who You Are

The Ideal Candidate

The right candidate is a polished, confident litigator who takes genuine ownership of their cases and their clients. You are not looking for a supervisor to hold your hand - you are looking for a firm that trusts your judgement and gives you the platform to do your best work. You thrive in the courtroom, communicate with authority, manage pressure professionally, and want to build something meaningful with a firm that is actively investing in its future.
