Description
About the Firm
Ciyou & Associates, P.C. is a boutique litigation firm in downtown Indianapolis. We handle the most complex family law and appellate matters in Indiana, including high-conflict custody disputes, high-asset dissolutions, protective orders, interstate and international custody cases, and civil appeals through the Indiana Supreme Court. We are not a paper-pushing firm. Our cases go to hearing, go to trial, and go to appeal. We take pride in solving problems that other firms walk away from.
The Opportunity
We are adding a litigation attorney to our team. While prior family law experience is highly preferred, we are seeking someone with a solid foundation in litigation. If you have spent meaningful time in Court, whether in criminal defense, immigration, estate litigation, civil practice, or another area where advocacy is central – you may be a good fit for our team. The right candidate will bring strong courtroom presence, the ability to independently move cases forward, and a competitive drive to advocate effectively for clients.
You will work directly alongside firm leadership on active cases. This is a real litigation role from day one and you will learn how to practice hands-on and refine your family law skills.
What You Will Do
- Represent family law clients at hearings, trials, and contested matters across Marion County and surrounding Indiana jurisdictions.
- Conduct depositions, manage discovery, draft and argue motions, and take ownership of a caseload.
- Advise clients through consultations and develop legal strategy alongside firm leadership.
- Collaborate with attorneys and paralegals to keep cases moving and produce excellent work product.
- Create legal documents, including briefs, motions, pleadings, affidavits, and settlement agreements.
Compensation and Benefits
