About Northwest Family Law

Northwest Family Law is a growth-minded, boutique law firm dedicated to providing holistic, solutions-driven family law services. We go beyond legal representation; we guide our clients through life's toughest transitions, turning the pain of divorce into the hope of a brighter future.

For the right individual, this is more than just a job; it is a chance to grow alongside a team of passionate, like-minded professionals who truly enjoy working together.

The Role

You'll carry the heart of our brand into the community. You'll find the right rooms for us to be in, including speaking stages, sponsorships, and community events, and make sure that every time we show up, we look, sound, and feel like Northwest Family Law. Our attorneys build the relationships. You make everything around them happen.

Reports to: Owner/CEO. You'll work alongside our fractional CMO, our SEO and website agency, and our social media partner.

What You'll Own

Community Presence & Events

• Find, pitch, and secure speaking opportunities for firm attorneys: panels, associations, podcasts, professional groups, and community organizations.
• Identify and recommend sponsorships, tabling, and hosted events that put us in front of the families we serve.

• Build and maintain a ready-to-go event kit and a firm events calendar.

Referral Network Support

Brand Stewardship

• Maintain our brand standards and asset library. Produce collateral such as guides, brochures, and presentation materials.

Advertising & Media

• Manage placements, creative, and deadlines. Partner with our fractional CMO on budget and ROI.

Video & Content

• Run our video program: plan topics with the CEO, coordinate scripts, schedule shoots, manage the videographer, and oversee editing and distribution.
• Direct our social media partner: set the monthly content plan, priorities, and approvals so every post is on brand.
• Maintain the firm's content calendar.

Reputation & Compliance

• Keep legal directory profiles current (Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Super Lawyers, etc.) and manage award and recognition submissions.

• Ensure all marketing materials comply with Washington RPC 7.1–7.3 on attorney advertising and solicitation, including the RPC 7.2 restrictions on giving anything of value for referrals.
