This role offers a rare combination of meaningful responsibility, high‑quality mentorship, and flexibility. You will be part of a collaborative team handling sophisticated, high‑stakes litigation for national and Fortune 500 clients.

From day one, you'll receive hands‑on experience: drafting pleadings, arguing motions, conducting depositions, managing discovery, and appearing in court. You'll be mentored by experienced partners and given room to grow in a supportive, high‑performance environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for attorneys who want to sharpen their litigation skills, take ownership of their work, and build a long‑term career within a growing national firm.

What We're Looking For

• Active license to practice law in California
• At least 3 years of experience in civil defense litigation
• Strong skills in legal research, writing, and oral advocacy
• Experience drafting pleadings, handling discovery, and managing motion practice
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
• Team‑oriented mindset with a proactive, ownership‑driven approach
