Please read the following job description thoroughly to ensure you are the right fit for this role before applying.

We’re not looking for average. We’re looking for indispensable.

Smedley Law Group is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced family law paralegal who knows how to own a file, support our attorneys at a high level, and make clients feel taken care of during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

This is not an entry-level position.

This is not a “we’ll train the right person” posting.

And this is definitely not the right fit for someone who needs to be micromanaged.

We’re looking for the kind of paralegal who:

• spots problems before they become emergencies;
• keeps attorneys on track without being asked;
• can draft family law pleadings and discovery responses with confidence;
• understands deadlines are real;
• and genuinely cares about the client experience.

At Smedley Law Group, we are relationship-focused, results-driven, and unapologetically committed to doing excellent work. We help clients through divorce, custody disputes, support issues, and other family law matters with strategy, compassion, and strength.

The right candidate will:

• Have substantial family law paralegal experience;
• Be capable of independently managing our attorneys’ caseloads together with the rest of our paralegal team;
• Draft pleadings, motions, certifications, CISs, and discovery with minimal oversight;
• Work directly with clients to gather information and move matters forward efficiently;
• Be highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented;
• Communicate professionally and confidently with clients, courts, and opposing counsel;
• Take pride in producing exceptional work product;
• Be dependable, accountable, and capable of consistently meeting deadlines and productivity expectations.

We are building a team of people who want to be great at what they do and are proud of their success. Culture matters here. Accountability matters here. Client experience matters here.

We work hard, but we genuinely enjoy working together. We laugh a lot, celebrate wins together (and support each other through the hard times), keep the office stocked with snacks, and take Philly sports probably a little too seriously. We are growing quickly, which means there is real opportunity here for someone who wants to grow with us and be part of building something special.

In return, we offer:

• Competitive compensation based on experience;
• Incentive opportunities;
• PTO, a generous monthly ICHRA stipend for health benefits, and fully employer-funded short- and long-term supplemental disability coverage and two life insurance policies;
• A predictable, Monday-Friday 9AM – 5 PM schedule, “Summer Friday” hours, and a generous holiday calendar
• A values-driven, collaborative team environment;
• The opportunity to be part of a growing firm where your contributions actually matter.

If you’re looking for a place where your experience is valued, your work makes an impact, and excellence is the expectation — we should talk. xrczosw
