• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple active cases with autonomy and sound judgment.
• Prior experience handling discovery disputes, dispositive motions, and case strategy is essential.

• Active membership in the California State Bar or immediate eligibility for admission.

Desired Skills & Personal Traits:

• Strategic thinker with a sharp eye for procedural nuance and litigation opportunities.
• Client-focused, mission-driven, and energized by public impact litigation.
• Comfortable working in both independent and team-based environments.
• Adaptable to dynamic case assignments and evolving litigation priorities.

Benefits include a competitive salary with no billable hour requirements, employer contributions toward health and dental insurance plans, a 401(k) retirement plan with company match, short- and long-term disability coverage, and remote work flexibility for qualified candidates.
