Marshall & Taylor, PLLC is seeking an exceptional Senior Family Law Attorney to join our leadership team and play a significant role in the continued growth and development of our firm.

This is an opportunity for an accomplished family law attorney who is ready for more than simply managing their own caseload. We are looking for a lawyer-leader who wants to use their experience to influence the quality of legal work, mentor attorneys, strengthen our team, and help shape the future of a growing family law practice.

You will continue to handle sophisticated family law matters and provide exceptional representation to clients, while also taking on meaningful leadership responsibilities. You will work closely with firm leadership to help establish and maintain high standards for legal strategy, client service, attorney development, case management, and professional excellence.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned family law attorney with excellent judgment, strong courtroom and negotiation skills, and the ability to earn the respect and confidence of other attorneys. You should be someone who naturally takes ownership, sees opportunities to improve the way things are done, and enjoys helping other attorneys become better lawyers.

Marshall & Taylor has built a strong foundation of experienced attorneys, senior paralegals, professional support staff, and established systems. We want to add a leader who can help us take the firm to the next level.
