    · Participating in legislative, administrative, and other systemic advocacy that promotes the interests of GBLS clients;

    · Providing culturally competent services to all clients;

    · As appropriate based on attorney's experience, participating in internal projects to share substantive knowledge, supervise students, or assist with administrative tasks and grant reporting;

    · Maintaining up-to-date knowledge and skills in family law and trial practice;

    · Maintaining up-to-date knowledge in other areas that impact GBLS family law clients in order to provide appropriate referrals or advice.

    Qualifications:

    · 2 or more years of experience in family law preferred;

    · Massachusetts bar admission or comity to be admitted preferred;

    · The candidate must have excellent oral and written communication skills;

    · The candidate must have the ability to handle and prioritize multiple tasks and to work collaboratively with other attorneys, non-attorney staff, and partners;

    · Prior family law and/or trial experience is preferred, as this is a litigation heavy position;

    · Prior family law and/or trial experience in Massachusetts is a plus;

    · Prior experience working with survivors of domestic violence is encouraged;

    · Fluency in one or more of the languages in addition to English spoken by GBLS clients, such as Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Cantonese, or Mandarin, is helpful.

    Salary & Benefits:

    Salary is based on a union scale. Effective July 1, 2024, the annual salary for an attorney with 2 years of experience is $77,000. GBLS offers generous benefits, retirement contribution, student loan repayment assistance for eligible attorneys, and generous PTO leave.

    Candidates should submit a cover letter, resume, and brief writing sample to the Human Resources Team via e-mail at . Please refer to the Job Code: FLU-ATT-LTT when applying. Deadline for application is May 15, 2024, or until position is filled.
