    Lead Attorneys. Mentor Future Advocates. Make a Meaningful Impact.

    An established and highly respected public-interest legal organization is seeking an experienced attorney to step into a Litigation Supervisor role within its family defense practice.

    This opportunity is ideal for a seasoned attorney with experience in Family Law, Immigration Law, Criminal Defense, or other high-volume litigation environments who enjoys mentoring attorneys, developing litigation strategy, and leading interdisciplinary teams while continuing to influence complex and meaningful cases.

    Why This Opportunity?

    This is more than a supervisory position. You'll play a key leadership role in shaping legal strategy, developing attorneys, and improving outcomes for vulnerable families navigating some of the most significant legal challenges of their lives.

    You'll work alongside attorneys, social workers, family advocates, and legal support professionals in a collaborative environment where client advocacy and professional growth are equally valued.

    What You'll Do

    Supervise and mentor attorneys with varying levels of experience

    Provide litigation strategy and case guidance in complex family court matters

    Help attorneys strengthen trial, negotiation, advocacy, and case-management skills

    Conduct performance reviews and professional development coaching

    Lead case rounds, attorney workgroups, and practice discussions

    Collaborate with court personnel, government agencies, and community stakeholders

    Assist with hiring, training, policy development, and strategic initiatives

    Partner with leadership on organizational growth and program development

    Foster a positive, collaborative, and high-performing team culture

    Ideal Background

    We welcome attorneys from a variety of litigation backgrounds, including:

    ✅ Family Law

    ✅ Immigration Law

    ✅ Criminal Defense

    ✅ Housing Litigation

    ✅ Public Defense

    ✅ Children's Law

    ✅ Legal Aid / Public Interest Practice

    Successful candidates typically bring:

    4+ years of family court experience, or

    7+ years of litigation experience representing vulnerable or underserved populations

    Strong courtroom advocacy and case-management skills

    Exceptional communication and leadership abilities

    A passion for mentoring and developing attorneys

    Experience managing complex caseloads and high-stakes matters

    Previous supervisory experience is a plus, but not required

    Compensation

    $120,500 - $144,700

    Comprehensive benefits package included.

    Who Thrives Here?

    This position is an excellent fit for attorneys who:

    Enjoy teaching and mentoring junior attorneys

    Want to have a broader impact than managing an individual caseload

    Value teamwork and interdisciplinary collaboration

    Have experience advocating for clients during critical life events

    Are seeking a leadership role with long-term growth potential

    Flexible work from home options available.
