We are seeking a talented and motivated Associate Attorney to join our team. Our attorneys represent businesses ranging from emerging and growing companies to established and publicly traded organizations.

Our practice includes employment and business litigation, workplace advice and counseling, compliance, and outside general counsel services.

We represent clients in California state and federal courts, arbitration, mediation, and administrative proceedings.

We are looking for an attorney who wants to do meaningful legal work, take ownership of matters, develop as a litigator, and become an important part of a growing firm.

Our associates are expected to understand the strategy behind their work and, as their experience permits, participate directly in all stages of litigation.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Managing and assisting with litigation matters from inception through resolution;
• Drafting pleadings, motions, oppositions, replies, discovery, correspondence, and other substantive legal work;
• Conducting legal research and providing thoughtful analysis of complex legal issues;
• Developing written discovery and reviewing and analyzing document productions and discovery responses;
• Preparing for and taking or defending depositions, depending upon experience;
• Preparing witnesses and clients for deposition;
• Attending court hearings, case management conferences, mediations, arbitrations, and other proceedings;
• Assisting with and, where appropriate, arguing motions;
• Participating meaningfully in trial preparation and trial;
• Evaluating cases and helping develop litigation strategy;
• Communicating directly and professionally with clients, opposing counsel, courts, and third parties;
• Providing practical employment advice and counseling to business clients, depending upon experience;
• Maintaining ownership of assigned deadlines, projects, and case responsibilities;
• Working collaboratively with attorneys, paralegals, and staff to provide exceptional client service.

Candidate Requirements

A current California State Bar license and good standing with the State Bar of California are mandatory requirements for this position. The successful candidate should also have:

• Meaningful experience practicing law, preferably involving civil litigation;
• Strong legal research, analytical, and writing skills;
• Excellent judgment and attention to detail;
• The ability to manage deadlines and multiple matters without constant supervision;
• A strong sense of ownership and personal accountability;
• The ability to communicate effectively and professionally with clients, colleagues, courts, and opposing counsel;
• A willingness to receive feedback and continuously improve;
• The initiative to identify what needs to be done rather than waiting to be told every next step;
• Comfort working independently in a remote environment while remaining accessible and engaged with the team;
• A commitment to professionalism, integrity, preparation, teamwork, and exceptional client service;

Experience with California employment litigation and/or business litigation is strongly preferred. Deposition, motion, mediation, arbitration, and trial experience are also valued.

Qualities of a Successful Candidate

We are looking for more than someone who can complete assignments. The right attorney is intellectually curious, dependable, hardworking, strategic, and committed to becoming an excellent lawyer. You take pride in the quality of your work. You prepare before you are asked. You meet deadlines. You communicate when an issue arises. You accept responsibility for your matters and look for solutions rather than waiting for someone else to solve the problem. No task is beneath anyone on our team, and we expect attorneys and staff to treat one another, our clients, opposing counsel, and the courts with professionalism and respect. Above all, we value dedication: dedication to our clients, our craft, our colleagues, and doing the job correctly.

Work Environment

This is a full-time, primarily remote position. The attorney must nevertheless be available to attend in-person meetings, depositions, court appearances, mediations, trials, client meetings, and other proceedings as required. Because the firm practices throughout California and in-person appearances will periodically be necessary, candidates must be able to travel as reasonably required for client matters.

Why Angioni Law?

We are intentionally building a firm where talented attorneys can perform sophisticated work, develop meaningful litigation skills, interact directly with clients, and build long-term careers. We offer the opportunity to work closely with experienced litigators, assume real responsibility, receive substantive feedback and mentorship, and participate in cases from strategy through resolution. As the firm continues to grow, we want attorneys who are interested not merely in having a job, but in helping us build an exceptional law firm. If you are looking for a place where you will be challenged to become a better lawyer, trusted with meaningful responsibility, supported by colleagues who care about the quality of their work, and given the opportunity to make a genuine contribution to a growing firm, we would like to hear from you.
