Family Law Paralegal

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE JOB POST BEFORE APPLYING

MUST BE ABLE TO WORK 8:30 A.M. – 5 P.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME (NY TIMEZONE)

Atlanta Family Law Group is not the only law firm looking for an attorney or paralegal with litigation skills. So why might you be interested in working with Atlanta Family Law Group?

• We love what we do each day and we enjoy the people we work with – from co-workers to business associates to clients. It’s a whole lot easier to spend the day with others who enjoy what they’re doing than it is to spend each day with people who are just there because they feel they have to be.
• We value authenticity.
• Our team members are part of our family. It’s why we’ve made sure our remote team members have set weekly check-ins so that they don’t feel alone or out of the loop
• We care about our clients – not just their family law case. This has led us to develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that at each phase of their case, they are getting the care and attention they need. When we see or hear about a need (even if it’s personal and not case related), we do our best to help with that need. This in turn has led to happier clients. Happy clients make work better!
• For this position, it is not necessary that you work the same hours as we are for most days – we understand there is a substantial time difference, but may require an occasional meeting during our 8:30 am-5 pm EST hours for check in with the managing attorney. These meetings would be scheduled in advance as we value your time away from work as well!

What are we looking for in the right candidate?

• You already have experience with litigation files and are able to draft discovery requests and discovery responses with little help.
Experience drafting family law pleadings is preferred, but we are willing to train the right candidate
Experience working in the area of family law is preferred

Hours per week:
• We are looking for a long term hire, not temporary. We are looking for someone who has capacity to work full-time (40 hours per week).
