Senior Attorney, Litigation

The Edwards Law Group

<div>The Edwards Law Group is at an exciting inflection point. We're scaling our practice to serve high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and executives facing complex family law matters, and we need a fearless, strategic senior attorney to handle sophisticated litigation and negotiation work. 
This isn't your typical family law position. We're looking for someone who thrives under pressure, thinks strategically, and has the intelligence and independence to handle high-stakes litigation and non-litigation cases that other firms may shy away from. If you're ready to take on challenging courtroom battles and high-value negotiations while delivering exceptional results, keep reading. 
Are You Ready for a New Chapter? 
If you previously owned a family law firm but have decided the business-minded and administrative burdens no longer serve you, this role offers the perfect transition. Here, you can channel your extensive experience and leadership skills purely into what you do best: practicing exceptional law, winning cases, and delivering results for clients. You'll have the autonomy and respect your expertise deserves, without the stress of payroll, marketing, HR, or business development consuming your focus. 
That said, you don't need to have owned a firm to excel in this role. What matters most is your proven ability to independently handle sophisticated, high-stakes litigation with strategic precision and your track record of delivering exceptional results. Whether you've spent your career as a senior litigator at established firms with a focus on family law, built your expertise in a boutique family law practice, or led complex cases in other settings, if you have the courtroom skill, strategic intelligence, and independent judgment we're looking for, we want to hear from you.
