Senior Family Law Attorney

A Different Way to Practice Family Law Truce Law was founded on a single belief: that most families going through separation are better served by agreement than by conflict. We built the firm around that idea, and we've spent the last eight years proving it works. We're looking for a senior family law attorney who shares that belief and wants to put it to work at scale. The Senior Family Law Attorney is the firm's premier sales and strategy role. You'll conduct the consultations that become clients' first real conversation with a lawyer who's on their side of the table. You'll shape the strategy of every case the branch signs. And you'll mentor the attorneys who execute that strategy, helping them get better at the craft, not just faster at the work. This is a role for someone who loves the intellectual side of family law, who can sell without being salesy, and who genuinely believes there's a better way to help families through one of the hardest moments of their lives. What We Offer Compensation • Base Salary: $175,000–$215,000 (two-tier structure, tied to your consultation volume commitment) • Upside Rainmaker Bonus: 10% of collected fees for personally originated clients • Quarterly Incentive Program: Up to $32,000 annually across conversion, branch health, technical mentorship, and strategic clarity components • Realistic Year 1 Total Compensation: $207,000–$255,000+, depending on tier, performance, and origination Benefits • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (employer-paid coverage for employees) • Four weeks Paid Time Off (Three weeks PTO + One-week paid winter holiday closure). • 10 paid holidays • 401(k) with 3% firm contribution • Flexible schedule • 10% new client generation bonus • Performance bonuses • Firm-provided technology and support • Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) • Professional Development Stipend • AAA Membership: Roadside assistance, identity theft protection, discounted pet insurance • Attorney coverage when you're out, so you can truly relax and recharge while on vacation Responsibilities: What the Role Looks Like • Leading the Consultation (Revenue Generation): You'll conduct 40-60 Legal Roadmap Sessions each month, our paid consultation product, and the primary entry point for new clients. Your work in each session is to listen carefully, understand the family's situation, communicate what's possible, and help the client decide whether Truce is the right fit. When it is, you architect the right retainer for the work ahead. • Shaping the Strategy (Case Architecture): Not every matter is a good fit for our model, and it's your job to recognize that early. You have the authority and the responsibility to turn away cases that would harm the pod assigned to them. For every case you do sign, you create the Primary Strategy Memo that becomes the pod attorney's roadmap from Day One. • Mentoring the Team (Technical Leadership): You'll lead two 30-minute technical huddles each week, where pod attorneys bring their most complex questions, jurisdictional nuances, high-asset valuations, and difficult dynamics with opposing counsel. You're also on-call for strategy support during critical moments: trial prep, mediations, and emergency filings. • Building the Firm's Intellectual Capital: Good ideas developed in one pod should benefit the whole firm. You'll identify winning arguments and unique motions used in the branch and work with a Lead Paralegal to turn them into firm-wide templates. When a huddle is missed, you produce a Technical Tip of the Week on a recent development or common drafting question. The Shape of the Work • You won't be managing people. No hiring, firing, or HR escalations. • You won't be carrying a caseload. Emergency coverage only, at the Managing Attorney's direction. • You'll be part of a firm that's actively building the kind of culture attorneys want to stay in for their whole career, mutual respect, the Truce Mindset, and a shared belief that how we work matters as much as what we produce. Qualifications: Who This Role Is For • 7–10+ years of Washington family law experience, including high-level trial and negotiation background. • Active Washington State Bar License in good standing. • Real consultation ability, you can lead a 60–90 minute conversation that feels like a conversation, not a pitch, and you can help a client decide without pressuring them. • Comfort with consultation volume, 100+ hours per month, sustained, without losing quality. • Genuine alignment with collaborative and amicable family law. Formal collaborative training is a plus; willingness to complete our internal training is required. • An openness to AI-assisted work. We use Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Gong actively, and we´ll teach you the tools, but the mindset of wanting to work with them is essential.
