Senior Divorce & Family Law Litigation Attorney (Mentorship-Opportunity | Hybrid)

New York, NY | Hybrid (In-office: 1 World Trade Center & Remote Flexibility) Rudyuk Law Firm, P .C.

About Us

Founded by Ksenia Rudyuk, Rudyuk Law Firm, P .C. is a boutique New York City practice devoted exclusively to divorce and family law primarily in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We are known for our integrity, strategic advocacy, and compassion in complex, high-conflict, and high-net-worth matters.

As our firm continues to grow, we are seeking a senior attorney who shares our values — someone who will help us expand ethically, with compassion, integrity, and purpose, while making a positive impact in the New York legal and civil community. We are looking for an attorney who enjoys litigation and who could serve as a leader to the junior staff.

The Role

This is more than a senior attorney position — it’s an opportunity to shape a growing firm and take charge of its legal department.

You will be the first senior-level hire in this capacity, working directly with the Founder to build, mentor, and lead the firm’s litigation and family law team.

We’re looking for an accomplished Divorce & Family Law Litigator (10–12+ years of experience) who:

• Loves the practice of law and courtroom advocacy
• Finds fulfillment in mentoring, teaching, and developing others
• Wants to help design and elevate a firm’s legal culture and standards
• Thrives in a collaborative, boutique environment
• Desires to focus on practicing law, not operations

This role may be ideal for a solo practitioner ready to join a respected, resource-rich firm — without the day-to-day burden of running a business, or someone who is ready to leave Big Law but wants to remain a part of a Firm.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, manage and work on complex matrimonial and family law cases from start to finish
• Provide hands-on mentorship and supervision to associates, clerks, and paralegals
• Shape and oversee the firm’s litigation strategy, systems, and professional standards
• Draft and argue motions, conduct depositions, handle hearings, trials, and appeals
• Partner with the Founder on firm strategy, growth, and attorney development
• Foster client relationships built on integrity, transparency, and trust

What We’re Looking For

• 10–12+ years of New York divorce and family law litigation experience
• Excellent courtroom, writing, and negotiation skills
• High emotional intelligence, ethics, and professionalism
• Excellent reputation in the NYC legal community

Compensation & Growth

• Billable hours requirement: reasonable, sustainable, and negotiable
• Salary: negotiable and open to discussion, starting at $200,000+
• The firm’s strong financial foundation allows for a competitive and rewarding compensation package, with room to grow in the years ahead.
• Attorneys who bring a book of business will receive tailored compensation arrangements, reflecting the value of their client relationships and contributions to the firm’s continued success.

Why Join Us

• Shape the Firm: play a defining role in building and leading the legal department
• Hybrid Flexibility: combine in-person collaboration with remote autonomy
• No Operational Stress: focus on law, not management and operational headaches
• Collaborative Culture: work closely with the Founder and a strong, supportive team
• Ethical, Purpose-Driven Mission: help elevate family law practice in NY
• Long-Term Stability: join a high-performing firm with consistent growth and vision

From Our Founder

“We are building a firm grounded in excellence, empathy, and ethics. If you still love the art and purpose of lawyering — and want to help shape a firm, lead a team, and inspire others — I would love to hear from you.”
— Ksenia Rudyuk, Founder
