Job description
Law doesn’t have to be stuffy. At Poppy Legal Group, we practice law with purpose, personality, and polish. We guide clients through life’s most pivotal transitions, from divorce and custody matters to estate planning and legacy building, all while cultivating a modern, supportive, and unexpectedly fun workplace.
We’re seeking a full-time Associate Attorney who wants to grow with us, take real ownership of cases, and feel proud (and excited) walking into the office every day.
About Us
We’re a boutique law firm based in downtown Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA. Our practice focuses on family law and estate planning. We’re community-driven, brand-conscious, and unapologetically different from the “burnout factory” firms you may know.

When the day needs a reset, the 90’s playlist goes on.
-
Spa days? The office closes. Work-life balance isn’t lip service; it’s lived.
-
There’s a Peloton in the office, and, yes, you can use it.
-
Oceanfront walks between appointments are highly encouraged.
-
✨ We deliver white-glove legal service, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
