AddressThe successful candidate will join our team in representing family law clients in matters such as child custody, divorce, support, property division, family violence, and others.

Atticus Legal is an entirely result-oriented workplace. Associates are expected to achieve their billings target but are free to set their own schedule and manage their workflow in whatever way works best for them. It is Atticus’s responsibility to generate enough files that associates will be able to easily reach their billings target, and to provide enough mentorship that associates will achieve success in the conduct of their files without straying too far out of their comfort zones in doing so. The minimum billing target for associates at Atticus amounts to approximately 4.2 billable hours per day, 5 days per week.
Our office culture is relaxed with respect to in-office attire and schedule as long as the lawyer maintains professionalism in the discharge of their duty to our clients. The firm promotes work-life balance, teamwork and camaraderie among associates and staff. Non-mandatory social events are hosted frequently. Attractive individual offices are provided to associates, including a budget for the associate to decorate their office.
Junior applicants are very welcome at Atticus Legal.
