Join Moore Family Law Group
Moore Family Law Group is a high-growth, high-impact firm dedicated to protecting clients’ financial assets, parental rights, and personal well-being during the most consequential transitions of their lives. With offices in Corona, Newport Beach, and Beverly Hills, we have built an elite practice culture that replaces the traditional law firm grind with a modern, high-leverage model: streamlined tech-driven workflows, direct mentorship from Certified Family Law Specialists, and an environment rooted in mutual respect and appreciation.
We take our craft seriously because clients deserve nothing less. But we also believe exceptional legal work happens in a workplace where people genuinely enjoy coming to work. Here, hard work is recognized, excellence is rewarded, and building a great career is designed to be rewarding, engaging, and fun.
If you are a junior attorney or law clerk ready to break out of the back office and move beyond passive research pipelines, this is your opening. We don’t relegate rising legal talent to endless document review. From day one, you will work side-by-side with seasoned Senior Associates and Certified Family Law Specialists (CFLS), receive direct, hands-on mentorship, and build a powerful foundation in family law. This position is built for someone who is sharp, driven, and ready to be developed into the kind of high-impact attorney who leads.
What You'll Do
- Learn by Doing: Co-counsel alongside senior litigators on complex, high-asset property divisions, custody disputes, and contested hearings. This is immersive mentorship with real stakes, not a simulation.
- Build Elite Drafting & Litigation Skills: Prepare persuasive pleadings, motions, discovery requests, and legal correspondence under close guidance, with a defined, structured track toward complete drafting independence.
- Stand in the Gap for Clients: Participate directly in strategic client consultations alongside senior counsel, developing the calm, authoritative presence clients depend on during life’s most challenging transitions.
- Master the Firm's Operating System: Learn and leverage our firm’s streamlined, tech-driven workflows so you can focus on high-level legal strategy without administrative noise getting in the way.
- Chart Your Path to Leadership: This is a career launchpad with clear benchmarks. Top performers earn increasing case ownership, direct client management, and accelerated advancement.
Who You Are
- Education & Credentials:
- For Junior Associates: Active California State Bar license in good standing, with 1–3 years of experience in California family law or civil litigation and a clear commitment to specializing in family law.
- For Law Clerks: Currently enrolled in or a recent graduate of an ABA-accredited law school (including Post-Bar candidates), eligible to practice under California State Bar law clerk guidelines.
- Growth Mindset: A sharp legal mind with an appetite for constructive feedback, high-level mentorship, and long-term professional mastery—not someone looking to coast.
- Team-First Mentality: Highly collaborative and adaptable; you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and take pride in supporting your colleagues.
- Operational Excellence: Exceptionally organized, deadline-oriented, and capable of maintaining composure and precision under tight timelines.
- Client Empathy: Deeply motivated by the opportunity to make a tangible, positive difference for individuals navigating complex and emotionally taxing life events.
