Truce Law is looking for a senior lawyer with a successful track record representing clients in family law matters. If you have an interest in divorce conflict resolution, mediation, and mentoring the next generation of legal professionals, we invite you to apply. Our law firm sets itself apart by marketing to clients who are looking for a low-conflict collaborative divorce, with contested divorce cases being the exception at our firm. Our firm is seeking an experienced senior attorney adept at handling a large caseload of divorce cases where most clients are looking for out-of-court settlements. Our ideal candidate has a familiarity with all aspects of the trial process, particularly drafting pleadings, motions, and notices, and helping clients work toward a resolution. If you have a passion for mentorship, creative legal problem-solving, negotiation, and peaceful conflict resolution, our senior lawyer position might be right for you. Our team loves working for Truce Law because of our relaxed atmosphere, and focus on collaborative law, which means our attorneys aren’t regularly facing the kinds of higher conflict cases (and the associated stress).
