Overview
Family Law Attorney – Department Lead Jobs in Fort Lauderdale, FL at Weinstein Legal Team
BUILD YOUR OWN FAMILY LAW DEPARTMENT—WITHOUT THE BURDEN OF BUILDING A FIRM
Are you an accomplished family law attorney who is ready to lead, grow, and shape a practice—but does not want the financial risk, administrative burden, or constant operational demands of running a law firm? Weinstein Legal Team is expanding and seeking an experienced Family Law Attorney to launch and lead our Family Law Department from our Fort Lauderdale office.
This is not a traditional associate position. It is an opportunity for an entrepreneurial attorney to take ownership of a practice area within an established firm, supported by existing operations, technology, marketing, intake systems, administrative resources, and a recognized brand. You will have meaningful autonomy to lead the department, establish procedures, help build your team, cultivate referral relationships, and guide long-term growth.
What You’ll Do
· Launch, develop, and lead the firm’s Family Law Department in Fort Lauderdale.
· Independently manage matters involving divorce, paternity, time-sharing, child support, alimony, modifications, enforcement, and related family-law issues.
· Handle hearings, mediations, depositions, negotiations, and trials.
· Create efficient department procedures, workflows, and quality standards.
· Participate in decisions concerning staffing, marketing, business development, and growth.
· Mentor and supervise future attorneys, paralegals, and support professionals.
· Build lasting relationships with clients, referral partners, and the South Florida legal community.
Who We’re Looking For
· Active member of The Florida Bar in good standing.
· At least five years of substantive Florida family-law experience.
· Proven ability to manage cases independently from consultation through resolution.
· Meaningful courtroom, litigation, mediation, and negotiation experience.
· Strong leadership, client-management, and business-development skills.
· Portable book of business or demonstrated ability to generate business strongly preferred.
· Board certification welcomed but not required.
Compensation and Opportunity
· $110,000–$140,000 annual base salary, commensurate with experience plus commision on originated and handled cases.
· Additional performance-based earning opportunities for success on firm-generated matters.
· Meaningful authority over case strategy and department development.
· Established operational, administrative, technological, intake, and marketing support.
· Input into future hiring and team development.
· Long-term professional and financial growth potential.
Why Weinstein Legal Team?
You may already have the experience to run your own practice. What you may not want is the headache that comes with it. At Weinstein Legal Team, you can have the professional ownership, financial upside, and autonomy you have earned while the firm provides the infrastructure behind you. Focus on clients, cases, leadership, and growth—not payroll, leases, technology problems, vendors, billing administration, or the countless distractions of business ownership.
If you have the experience, reputation, and vision to lead a family-law practice—but want to leave the burden of business ownership behind—we would like to speak with you. All inquiries will be treated confidentially.
