Remote Family Law Associate Attorney LA or Bay Area $140K-$180K

Marin County Law Firm is looking for an associate-level family law attorney with 2–4 years of experience. This is not an entry-level role: candidates must have hands-on family law experience, not just adjacent litigation background. The firm is explicit that they will train and invest heavily in associates, but that investment requires a family law foundation to build on. Associates here get to be attorneys and nothing else; no collections, no admin, no secondary roles with real & deliberate focus on upward mobility.

You'll actually be trained and developed. The firm invests heavily in associate growth. The COO described it as a contract where you accept lower starting comp in exchange for serious time and attention to your development. You'll get promoted fast because they start you at a level where you can excel.

Family law isn’t second-class here: If you work at a large firm with a small family law practice, you’re probably the redheaded stepchild. Family law IS the firm. You’re the priority, not an afterthought.

Just be a family law attorney - nothing else. No collections, no admin, and no secondary responsibilities. The firm handles everything else so you can focus purely on practicing law.

Fully remote with real infrastructure. Shared office spaces available across California for depositions and mediations but no daily office requirement. They put their money toward compensating the team instead of real estate.

Clear promotion track that actually works. The ladder from associate to senior associate to senior attorney to of counsel to partner is transparent. The COO deliberately starts people slightly below their ceiling so they succeed quickly and move up (which also applies to compensation).

Collegial, well-functioning team. The entire team interviews every candidate — that's a signal of how seriously they take team health and how much associates are part of the fabric of the firm, not just billable headcount.

Firm of choice for female attorneys. This firm is explicitly building toward being a top destination for female attorneys and paralegals.

This role is fully remote within California. Base salary is $140,000-$180,000
