The attorney will represent contractors in complex construction disputes involving mechanics' liens, stop notices, surety claims, delay disputes, contract claims, and other high-value construction litigation matters.

Location & Work Arrangement

California — Los Angeles area preferred

Hybrid

This position offers hybrid flexibility while providing the opportunity to collaborate with experienced construction litigators on sophisticated, multi-party disputes.

About the Opportunity

Mission Recruiting's client maintains a sophisticated construction litigation practice representing major contractors in disputes arising from significant commercial and infrastructure projects.

The practice offers exposure to complex, high-value matters rather than routine construction disputes. Attorneys handle matters involving mechanics' liens, stop notices, surety claims, construction delays, contract disputes, and other contractor‑side claims.

The successful attorney will manage individual matters while collaborating with experienced litigators on larger, multi-party disputes. The role provides substantive responsibility for case strategy, discovery, motion practice, depositions, and trial preparation.

Responsibilities

• Handle complex construction litigation matters from discovery through resolution
• Represent contractors in construction and commercial disputes
• Handle mechanics' lien and stop notice matters
• Manage surety claims and related disputes
• Litigate construction delay and complex contract claims
• Manage discovery and document‑intensive matters
• Draft dispositive and non‑dispositive motions
• Take and defend depositions
• Develop litigation and case strategy
• Manage matters independently while collaborating on larger disputes
• Participate in settlement negotiations and dispute resolution
• Prepare complex matters for trial

Recommended Qualifications

• 5+ years of commercial, construction, or employment litigation experience
• Strong legal research and writing skills
• Strong motion practice experience
• Experience handling complex litigation matters
• Ability to manage cases independently while collaborating with a litigation team

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of contractor‑side construction litigation experience
• Experience with mechanics' liens and stop notices
• Experience with surety matters
• Experience handling complex construction contract disputes
• Experience with large, multi‑party litigation
• 100% employer‑paid medical coverage
• 100% employer‑paid long‑term disability coverage
• 401(k) with profit sharing

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Sophisticated contractor‑side construction litigation
• Exposure to disputes involving major commercial and infrastructure projects
• Consistent pipeline of complex, high‑value matters
• Opportunity to manage your own cases
• Collaboration with experienced construction litigators on large, multi‑party disputes
• Substantial responsibility for motions, depositions, case strategy, and trial preparation
• 100% employer‑paid medical, dental, vision, and long‑term disability coverage
• 401(k) with profit sharing
