The Zhou Law Group | Bay Area

Up to 30% Increase in Total Earning Potential | High-Growth Team Environment

The Zhou Law Group is expanding and seeking an experienced Family Law Associate Attorney or Senior Counsel to join our growing team in the Bay Area.

This is a unique opportunity to grow with a rapidly expanding firm, take on meaningful responsibility, and play an important role in shaping our continued success. You will handle a broad range of family law matters while working alongside a collaborative, highly skilled legal team.

Our firm has worked hard to build a culture centered on collaboration, mutual support, and a healthy work-life balance. At our firm, you have true professional autonomy. You may determine your workload, select the cases you accept, and set your billable hour targets. Compensation is directly tied to your experience and billable hours, allowing you to earn in proportion to your contribution. In addition, we offer generous and comprehensive bonus programs designed to reward both individual excellence and team success. We also offer transparent and equitable promotion opportunities, ensuring your career can grow with the firm.

A Strong Foundation. A Meaningful Stage of Growth.

Founded by a Certified Family Law Specialist, The Zhou Law Group has spent more than a decade building a respected and disciplined presence in California family law.

Our team — including multiple Super Lawyers — has established a reputation for preparation, professionalism, and steady advocacy in complex divorce, custody, support, property division, and domestic violence matters. We understand that family law is rarely just legal — it is personal, emotional, and often life-defining. Our work requires both clarity and composure.

Over the past ten years, we have built a credible platform grounded in integrity, accountability, and consistent case standards. That foundation now supports a deliberate and structured phase of expansion.

We are seeking attorneys with at least five years of family law experience who are excited to join a fast-growing team and contribute meaningfully during a period of upward momentum.

In this role, you will:

• Manage substantive family law matters from strategy through resolution
• Draft pleadings and motions and appear in hearings and court proceedings
• Work directly with clients navigating complex personal transitions
• Collaborate with a dedicated support team to maintain case quality and preparation

This position is suited for an attorney with solid foundational experience who is ready for meaningful responsibility within a structured and high-standard practice.

Our Approach

We believe strong advocacy must be grounded in integrity, responsibility, and respect. In family law, firmness and empathy are not in conflict — they must coexist.

We approach each matter with preparation, discipline, and steady judgment, recognizing the human weight behind every decision. Our clients place significant trust in us during deeply personal transitions, and we honor that trust through professionalism, accountability, and thoughtful counsel.

As we grow, we do so deliberately — without compromising case quality or ethical standards. We value clarity over noise, long-term reputation over short-term gain, and character as much as capability.

Growth & Compensation

We are in a deliberate phase of expansion. As the firm grows, attorneys who demonstrate preparation and sound judgment take on increased case responsibility.

Our compensation model includes a competitive base salary combined with performance-based incentives tied to billable productivity and overall contribution.

For attorneys coming from traditional fixed-salary structures, our performance model often results in significantly higher total earning potential, depending on productivity and responsibility.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of Family Law experience
• Active admission to the California State Bar
• Strong writing and analytical skills
• Professional composure in emotionally complex situations
• Commitment to integrity, work ethic, and client-centered practice

Work Structure & Benefits

We offer hybrid and remote flexibility, with in-person presence required for court proceedings and client matters as appropriate.

Our benefits package includes:

• Competitive, performance-aligned compensation
• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
• Dental insurance
• Disability insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid sick time
• Paid time off
• Vision insurance
