About the Firm
Bank Rifkin PLC is a boutique domestic relations firm located in Birmingham, Michigan, and recognized across the state as one of the premier practices in family law. Our clients rely on us to handle the most sensitive and complex matters in their lives: high-stakes divorce litigation, intricate financial proceedings, custody disputes, and prenuptial agreements. We hold ourselves and everyone on our team to an exceptionally high standard.
The Role
This position serves as the operational right hand to a partner with an active and demanding litigation practice. The ideal candidate will bring:
- Exceptional calendar and scheduling management — juggling court deadlines, client meetings, depositions, and mediations without dropping a single item
- Mastery of file organization and case management systems, with meticulous attention to detail
- Polished, professional communication with clients, opposing counsel, and judicial staff — representing the firm with discretion and warmth
- Advanced computer proficiency across Microsoft Office, practice management platforms, and document processing systems
- A proactive mindset — anticipating needs, flagging issues early, and solving problems before they require escalation
- The ability to remain composed and effective in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment
Compensation
We have always believed that the best people deserve to be compensated as such. Salary and benefits (401K; health, dental vision insurance; paid time off) for this role will reflect the skills, experience, and exceptional track record you bring to it. Our legal professionals work in person in our office, but work-life balance is important to us and we want our employees to have balanced lives, which is why we have a discretionary time off policy for all employees. This gives you the ability to take time off as appropriate.
