Job description

A nationally recognized civil litigation defense firm is seeking a 2+ year Associate Attorney to join its expanding insurance defense practice in California. This is an excellent opportunity for a junior attorney looking to grow within a collaborative team and gain hands‑on litigation experience from day one.

About the Role

The ideal candidate will have experience in:

• General civil litigation
• Insurance defense (open to any relevant experience within insurance defense)

You must be licensed in Cali - no exception. This position follows a hybrid schedule, requiring in‑office work three days per week.

What You’ll Do

Associates work closely with senior attorneys and play an active role in all phases of litigation, including:

• Rapid response investigations following catastrophic losses
• Case evaluation, strategy, and reporting
• Drafting pleadings, motions, and discovery
• Depositions
• Trial preparation and support

This firm is the “go‑to” litigation partner for numerous domestic and international insurance carriers, as well as a wide range of private clients. You’ll gain exposure to diverse, high stakes matters while developing strong advocacy and strategic thinking skills.

What They’re Looking For

• Strong research, writing, and analytical skills
• California bar license (required)
• Familiarity with insurance defense work and carrier reporting/billing guidelines is a plus
• A team‑oriented mindset and willingness to collaborate across practice groups and offices

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Modern, flexible work environment (hybrid + flexible WFH policy)
• Nationally recognized commitment to diversity and inclusion
• Supportive culture with opportunities to learn from experienced trial attorneys
• Variety in your workload across multiple practice areas

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
• Bonus potential
• Medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Unlimited PTO
• Professional development and mentorship programs
