Our growing law firm is looking to hire a family attorney who is fiercely passionate about representing clients facing one of the most challenging times in their lives. Candidates should be adept at preparing necessary legal documents in connection with prenuptial agreements, initiating and finalizing divorces, alimony, child support/child custody, and real estate. Experience in handling legal issues such as child abuse, child custody, and domestic violence is also a must. If you have a proven record of success both in and out of court, apply now! Responsibilities: • Manage the division of marital assets, including real estate, during divorce proceedings when needed • Maintain client files to ensure they are properly organized and up to date • Work closely with paralegals and senior partners to ensure swift action through the civil litigation process • Represent clients in court proceedings as needed • Prepare legal documents such as legal pleadings, motions, marital settlement agreements, contracts, judgments, and orders for a high volume of cases In this role, you get to be the captain of a team of attorneys, paralegals, assistants, coaches, counselors, and more. We are all focused on empowering clients to navigate change and conflict in their family lives. You will help clients to develop and articulate a vision of the future they are working to achieve and prepare a strategy that helps them to achieve it. We believe that we should not impose what we see as "the solution" onto clients' lives. Key responsibilities as an attorney with New Leaf Family are: With our Clients: • Listen. You have experience ... and it will help you hear what's important. But you also know that it is important for the client to tell their story. • Understand. Clients will tell you, (and you will help them tell) about what they need, beyond what they need in court or litigation. You are going to help them to see a vision of where they want to be, not just what they're leaving behind. • Hope. Many of our clients are focused on what they are losing and have not yet built an image of their future. You get to help them do that! • Empower. You must be dedicated to empowering our clients to make the best decisions for themselves and their families. You will empower them to build their futures. • Explain. We have experience in the ways of family law that our clients do not have. In many circumstances, we have life experiences we do not have. Our clients want (and need) to know the options from which they are choosing. We empower them by helping them be aware of their choices. • Elevate. We help our clients best when we remain objective, and stay in our space where we are able to see their situation, their options, and their vision more clearly than they can. From there we can lift them up. If we get down into the drama, then we are much less helpful to them. • Serve. Assist the whole client. You will put clients in touch with additional resources, both inside and outside New Leaf. These could be closely affiliated, like parenting coordinators, divorce coaches, and financial planners, to other resources that clients may need, like real estate brokers, car dealers, personal trainers, or makeover artists. With Opposing Counsel and the Courts: • Defend. Stand up for clients in forums that are unfamiliar to them. You will be ready, willing, and able to advocate for clients in places where our expertise can shine, including negotiations, mediation, litigation, trial, etc • Lead. Be a leader in the legal community. Be a leader among our team, and help us grow and attract more lawyers (and other professionals) like you. • Collaborate. You will be a strong member of a distributed team. We don't all meet in person too often, so being able to be a strong team member in a remote work setting is crucial. For yourself: • Align. Through understanding, you will make sure that our actions move the client in the direction of their vision. • Attract. Bring more people into the New Leaf Family. You will be a positive ambassador for the work of the firm, and attract clients, and colleagues alike. • Self-Care. Take care of yourself so that you can take care of clients. You will do your part to bring effective conflict resolution resources to more people, by being effective in what you do with New Leaf Family and letting our light shine! Qualifications: • Great negotiation and communication skills, particularly in stressful and emotional situations • Strong knowledge base of representing plaintiffs and defendants • Active member of the ABA (American Bar Association) • Extra consideration for those with a criminal justice background • At least 1-2 years of working in a law firm on family law issues as well as real estate (determining marital property) is necessary First and foremost, you have a passion for empowering clients through their current family conflict, toward a future that they may not (yet) clearly see. Next, you are excited about the prospect of doing this … differently! The remainder of the qualifications don't matter if you don't have this! You are the right person if you are: • Skilled in the craft of family law, but not set in the deeply worn grooves of the “system” that might not be serving clients best • Creative. We want you to find joy in building creative solutions ... sometimes in the law ... often beyond it. • Empathic. We want you to have a strong connection with clients, with the ability to hear their hopes, dreams, and desires as well as deliver difficult truths to them. • Ethical. We shouldn't have to write this, but a strong ethical compass is essential in our work. • Collaborative. In this world, it is important to have experience, and success working collaboratively with a team .... even when remote. You should enjoy working with a team ... but also be self-sufficient • Independent. This may seem contrary to being collaborative, but it is not. You must be able to work independently, yet also comfortable with reaching out for assistance, and knowing when to do so. • Tech-friendly. We work hard to make our practice efficient and cost-effective for our clients. We want you to be proficient and self-sufficient with technology that facilitates working with a distributed team and servicing clients in ways most convenient to them. • A Writer. Excellent writing skills make a difference in many cases and demonstrate clear thinking. • Committed to delivering excellent client service • Have 3+ years of experience • And ... of course, you are a member of the Colorado Bar ... in Good Standing Compensation: $95,000 - $195,000 yearly at plan DOE
