Associate Attorney – Family Law

Chicago, IL

Full-Time | Downtown Chicago


Our client, a boutique family law firm in downtown Chicago, is seeking a motivated Associate Attorney to join its growing practice. This is an excellent opportunity for a licensed attorney who wants hands-on litigation experience, direct client exposure, and the ability to build a strong long-term career in family law.

The ideal candidate is hardworking, curious, coachable, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving litigation environment.


Prior family law experience is helpful, but not required. The firm is open to training the right attorney who brings strong judgment, work ethic, and a genuine desire to become an excellent litigator.


What You’ll Do

  • Handle a range of family law matters, including divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities, child support, maintenance, parenting time, and related litigation
  • Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, correspondence, and client communications
  • Prepare for and attend court hearings, conferences, mediations, and client meetings
  • Work closely with the firm’s principal attorney on strategy, case preparation, and client management
  • Manage smaller matters with increasing independence as experience grows
  • Learn the practical, strategic, and litigation side of family law in a highly hands-on environment


What We’re Looking For

  • Licensed attorney in Illinois
  • Strong work ethic and willingness to put in the time required to learn and grow
  • Comfortable with litigation, conflict, pressure, and fast-moving case demands
  • Strong writing, analytical, and communication skills
  • High attention to detail and ownership over work product
  • Professional confidence and the ability to think on your feet
  • Interest in family law and client advocacy
  • Prior family law or litigation experience preferred, but not required


Compensation

  • Base salary: approximately $95,000–$105,000, depending on experience
  • Additional productivity-based compensation for billable hours above weekly expectations
  • Additional earning opportunity for associates who originate business
  • Strong long-term earning potential for high performers


Benefits & Work Arrangement

  • Health insurance offered
  • Monday–Thursday in office
  • Fridays may be remote
  • Office located in downtown Chicago


About the Opportunity

This role is ideal for an attorney seeking substantial courtroom exposure, mentorship, and the opportunity to develop into a highly skilled family law litigator. The firm values initiative, responsiveness, strong advocacy, and attorneys who are motivated to continuously improve and grow professionally.
