Attorney jobs in Virginia

Job Description

Our client is hiring an attorney to work out of their Virginia Beach office. You would work primarily alongside one of the firm's managing members in all aspects of his cases, managing a very busy trial calendar for high-asset family law cases and complex civil/business/estate litigation. You would have the ability and support of the firm to establish/develop your practice with your own clients.

What We’re Looking For:

We hire talented people based on their accomplishments, intellectual curiosity, and a strong alignment with our core values. We’re looking for someone who loves to win but hates to lose more. The more civil litigation experience the better with preference to those with a family law background and familiarity with Tidewater courts. If you are not comfortable with the ebbs and flows of a litigation-centric practice, then this is not the job for you.

Responsibilities:

• Sit second chair on high asset/complicated family/civil litigation cases

• Establish/Develop own clients.

• Manage client communications, interact with key witnesses, opposing counsel, and court personnel.

• Take and defend depositions.

• Draft pleadings, motions, discovery, briefs, and other legal work.

• Prepare for and handle motions, oral arguments, and evidentiary hearings.

• Develop trial strategy.

• Work closely with the paralegals assigned to the case.

• Learn legal marketing.

• Develop and expand your referral network.

• Become a valuable member of the Tidewater community.
