A bit about us

We're a full-service, multi-office law firm with a national platform and a growing West Coast presence, anchored by a downtown Los Angeles office. Our litigation group handles a real mix - general commercial disputes, creditor/banking-adjacent matters, and IP work - for clients who need practical counsel, not just paper. The culture skews collegial and low-ego: partners are accessible, and associates get real courtroom and client exposure early.

Why join us?

Why Join Us:

True flexibility - work from the office or remote, your call, as long as you can be in court when a matter demands it.

Cross-practice exposure (commercial litigation, creditors'/banking matters, IP) that broadens your book faster than a single-lane litigation seat.

Compensation at $170K sits meaningfully above what's typically reported for comparable LA litigation associate roles - a genuine differentiator, not a marketing line.

Direct access to senior litigators and real case ownership, not just doc review
