FULL TIME Associate Attorney

Associate Attorney
Family Law | 1-3 Years' Experience | Mount Laurel, New Jersey | Full-Time | $75,000 - $95,000 base

is an established matrimonial and family law firm in Mount Laurel, serving clients throughout New Jersey. Our practice focuses exclusively on family law—divorce, custody and parenting time, child and spousal support, equitable distribution, domestic violence, and post-judgment matters.

We are looking for an Associate with one to three years of experience who wants to build a real family law practice. If you want to be in court early, get substantive work rather than document review, and be trained by attorneys who will actually sit down with you, this is the right place.

Draft pleadings, motions, certifications, discovery demands and responses, and correspondence across an active family law docket

Prepare and review Case Information Statements and supporting financial documentation

Appear at case management conferences, motion hearings, Early Settlement Panels, and domestic violence hearings with appropriate supervision

Run child support and alimony calculations and analyze income for support purposes

Conduct legal research and prepare memoranda on family law issues

Draft marital settlement agreements, consent orders, and parenting plans under partner supervision

Handle post-judgment enforcement and modification applications

One to three years of legal practice experience; family law experience strongly preferred, though we will consider strong candidates from adjacent litigation practices or a Family Part judicial clerkship

Familiarity with the New Jersey Court Rules, the Child Support Guidelines, and the alimony and equitable distribution statutes — or the demonstrated ability to get up to speed quickly

Strong, efficient legal writing and the willingness to be edited

Comfort with numbers — much of family law is financial, and you should not be intimidated by a tax return

Proficiency with legal research platforms and case management software (MyCase, Clio, or comparable)

Direct partner mentorship — you will not be buried in a document room

A single-focus practice: you will become a family law attorney, not a generalist

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to any characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law. We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations to applicants and employees with disabilities.
