A respected multi-office law firm is seeking a Family Law Attorney in New York, NY to handle divorce, custody, support, and equitable distribution matters. This is a strong opportunity for a Family Law Attorney seeking meaningful client contact, sophisticated matters, and long-term growth in New York legal jobs.

This Maryland based firm was established nearly three decades ago. Over their history, this firm has opened offices across the Northeastern region of the United States, running nearly 15 offices in New York, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and more. More than 125 attorneys are employed by this firm, practicing areas such as Cannabis Law, Legal Ethics, Nonprofit Entities, Landlord Representation, Mass Toxic Torts and many, many more.

A well-established regional law firm with a broad Northeastern footprint is seeking an experienced Family Law Attorney to join its New York office. This opportunity is ideal for a candidate with 3–10 years of experience who is confident managing matters independently while also contributing to a collaborative team environment.

This role offers the chance to advise both middle-income and high-net-worth clients on sensitive and complex domestic relations matters. The position stands out for its steady workflow, strong platform, and potential as a partner-track position for the right attorney. This opportunity is actively interviewing, and positions at this level do not open often.

Key Responsibilities

• Handle a range of family law matters, including divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, and equitable distribution

• Represent middle-income and high-net-worth clients in contested and non-contested proceedings

• Draft pleadings, motions, settlement agreements, memoranda, and court submissions

• Provide strategic client counseling on case developments, risk assessment, and resolution options

• Appear in court and deliver effective courtroom advocacy when needed

• Manage matters with a high degree of independence while working closely with colleagues in a team-oriented setting

• Support clients through emotionally sensitive disputes with professionalism and sound judgment

Qualifications

• 3–10 years of family law experience required

• Admission to the New York Bar required

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This opportunity is with a long-standing, growth-oriented law firm that has built a strong presence across multiple offices in the Northeast. Attorneys benefit from an established platform, diverse practice exposure, and a collaborative environment that supports both professional development and high-quality client service.

For a Family Law Attorney, this role offers the chance to build a strong practice in one of the most active legal markets in the country. Candidates seeking New York legal jobs with strong matter ownership, client-facing responsibility, and advancement potential will find this role especially compelling. The firm values practical judgment, responsive service, and attorneys who can combine empathy with effective advocacy.

This is an excellent opening for a General Family Law Attorney looking to deepen experience in sophisticated domestic relations work. It is also attractive for attorneys seeking a partner-track position with consistent case responsibility and the ability to grow within a respected law firm platform. By year-end, the successful attorney could be leading key client relationships and handling substantial family law matters with increased autonomy.
