About Lawhive
Lawhive is a new kind of law firm - one designed around attorneys, not just clients.
We're building a future where lawyers can focus on what they do best: delivering excellent legal advice, without the noise of admin, inefficient tools, or unnecessary overhead. Our platform supports experienced attorneys through AI and purpose-built technology, helping you get back hours each week.
We specialise in helping individuals and families navigate some of life's most challenging moments - from divorce and legal separation to child custody, parenting time, spousal maintenance, and property division. Our Arizona family law practice is built on clear thinking, compassionate advocacy, and practical outcomes for clients when it matters most.
Join us and be part of a forward-thinking legal team backed by top-tier investors including Google Ventures, Balderton, and TQ Ventures. We've just raised a $60M Series B and are growing fast - with you at the centre of our next chapter.
The Role
As a Family Law Attorney at Lawhive, you will manage a high-volume portfolio of Arizona family law matters from intake through to resolution. You'll be the lead legal voice for your clients - advising on strategy, appearing in court, and driving cases forward with confidence and clarity. You'll work closely with a dedicated paralegal and case management team, with the support structure in place to let you focus on the legal work that requires your expertise.
As an AI-native law firm, you'll use our proprietary AI to help complete work - from drafting pleadings and preparing filings to managing matter documentation -so you can focus your time on advocacy, strategy, and your clients.
Manage a portfolio of family law matters end-to-end, including divorce, legal separation, child custody, parenting time, child support, spousal maintenance, property division, and post-decree modifications
Represent clients at hearings, conferences, mediations, evidentiary proceedings, and trials in Arizona courts
Draft and review pleadings, motions, discovery, settlement agreements, pre-trial statements, and other legal documents
Conduct client consultations, provide clear and informed legal advice, and guide clients through complex and emotionally sensitive decisions
Negotiate settlements and represent clients effectively in discussions with opposing counsel
Conduct legal research to support case preparation and stay current on Arizona family law procedure and developments
Collaborate closely with the firm's paralegal and Case Managers to ensure matters progress efficiently and clients are kept well-informed
Use Lawhive's proprietary AI to assist with drafting, document management, and matter workflows as part of your day-to-day practice
What You'll Bring
Active Arizona Bar license in good standing
5+ years of family law experience, with a strong track record across divorce, custody, and support matters
Proven courtroom presence - you are comfortable appearing independently at hearings, evidentiary proceedings, and trials
Excellent legal writing and drafting skills, including pleadings, motions, and settlement agreements
Strong client communication skills - you can translate complex legal matters into clear, actionable guidance
Empathy and professionalism when working with clients navigating emotionally difficult circumstances
The ability to manage a high-volume caseload with strong organisational skills and deadline discipline
A collaborative mindset - you work well with support staff and understand that great outcomes are a team effort
