• Federal court litigation is not necessary, but welcome; we will teach you.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Represent clients in cases involving products liability, premises liability, motor vehicle accidents, and other personal injury matters.
• Take and defend depositions (including those of plaintiffs and experts, witnesses, etc.).
• Engage in law and motion work – research and draft motions and oppositions to various motion types, including but not limited to motions for summary judgment and demurrers, as well as discovery‑related motions.
• Prepare for trial, including motions in limine, special verdict forms, jury instructions, and other related tasks to support the firm in preparation for trial.
• Propound discovery and respond to discovery.
• Draft complaints ranging from basic motor vehicle accidents to complex premises and assault cases.

REQUIREMENTS

• Licensed and in good standing with the California State Bar.
• Nevada State Bar licensure is a plus, but not required.
• Attention to detail and ability to multi‑task in a fast‑paced environment, with a willingness to work in a team atmosphere.
• Strong time‑management skills, including prioritization of cases and adherence to deadlines, internal or those imposed by the court.
• Strong organizational, interpersonal communication, time‑management, and project‑management skills in handling the caseloads required of the position.
• Ability to work in a highly collaborative team environment with other lawyers and paralegals.
• Fully proficient in Microsoft Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe Acrobat DC.
