Modern Family Law, a rapidly expanding national family law firm, is seeking an innovative and highly organized Content Producer (Podcast & Video) to support the development and production of the firm’s podcast and video content. Modern Family Law offers competitive compensation, a wide range of benefits, and a culture built on family.
