Who We Need

This is a Defined Path for Growth -- Not Just a Lateral Move

Benson & Sesser is a thriving, diverse practice built on decades of community and client trust. We have expanded exponentially, and we are no longer looking for just an "employee"—we are looking for a future leader. We are seeking an experienced Family Law Associate who is motivated to not only make a difference in our clients' lives, but motivated to eventually transition from Associate to Partner, and ultimately, to be part of the next generation of leadership for the firm.

Why This Role is Different

• Ownership Track: This isn't a "maybe" or a "someday" promise. We are looking for the right person to eventually succeed the current owners.
• Mentorship in Management: We will teach you the operational, financial, and marketing side of running a successful general-practice firm.
• Culture of Autonomy: We value high-level advocacy over "facetime." We provide the resources and tech of a large firm with the agility and heart of a family practice.
• Stable Growth: You are joining a firm with a massive, existing lead flow and a stellar reputation, so you do not need to bring your own book of business.

What You Will Do

• Lead family law matters from inception to resolution, including divorce, child custody, support, and complex asset division.
• Provide empathetic, high-stakes counsel to clients navigating life transitions.
• Develop your own professional "brand" within the community.

Who You Are

• Experienced: You have at least 3 years of dedicated Family Law experience and are licensed to practice law in Ohio.
• Entrepreneurial: You don’t just want to "do law"; you want to understand how a business thrives.
• Compassionate but Firm: You understand the emotional nuances of family law but remain a fierce advocate for your clients.
• Growth-Minded: You are looking for your "forever" professional home and are excited by the prospect of firm ownership.

Benefits & Compensation

• Salary: Competitive base of $115,000 to $155,000 (commensurate with experience).
• Incentives: Performance-based bonuses.
• Benefits: Unlimited PTO, 401k + match, bar dues, CLE fees, hardware and software provided.
