Description:
About Us (aka: Why You Might Actually Like It Here):We're not your typical stuffy law firm. At Paulsen Gilgan, we fight hard, laugh often, and leave our egos at the door. We run a fast-paced, high-functioning family law firm with a fun culture and we love what we do. We believe professionals don't need micromanaging, that clients deserve excellence, and that morning coffee and donuts > late-night grind culture.
The Job:
We're looking for a Family Law Associate with at least 2 years of Oregon family law experience who's ready to hit the ground running. You should know your way around a courtroom, be able to draft like a pro, and enjoy being part of a team that works hard and actually gets along.
You'll Crush It Here If You...
- Can juggle court deadlines, client calls, and the occasional team GIF war
- Know how to run a case from start to finish with staff
- Can handle conflict with grace, grit, and professionalism
- Want to be mentored as you grow into your own version of attorney
- Believe in accountability, integrity, and occasionally laughing at lawyer memes
Minimum Qualifications:
- Oregon bar license (active and in good standing)
- 2+ years of family law experience in Oregon
- Excellent writer, confident speaker, and solid negotiator
- Able to manage your own caseload while working well with our team of paralegals, staff, and fellow attorneys
- Sense of humor required
What you get:
- Competitive salary + bonus potential
- Health insurance, 401(k), PTO, and all that good stuff
- Reasonable hours (we believe you can be a great lawyer and a human being)
- Supportive, smart teammates who actually enjoy working together
- Real opportunities for growth (and not just the “someday maybe” kind)
- Office snacks, frequent team lunches, Friday donuts, and the occasional dog visit
