Job summary

Orion Placement is seeking an experienced plaintiff-side litigation attorney for a hybrid role in Downtown Los Angeles. Handle civil matters from pleadings through trial preparation, including depositions, motions, and discovery, with potential for leadership in complex cases.

Requirements include active California State Bar, 3+ years of civil litigation, and strong research and writing skills. Compensation ranges from $100,000 to $220,000 per year with profit-sharing and referral bonus

Qualifications

• Active California State Bar membership in good standing.
• 3+ years of civil litigation experience.
• Multiple independently handled depositions, including taking and defending depositions.
• Independent law and motion experience.
• Strong legal research, analytical, and persuasive writing skills.
• Ability to provide at least three substantive legal writing samples during the interview process.
• Plaintiff-side litigation, insurance coverage, insurance bad faith, property damage, wildfire, or mass tort experience strongly preferred.
• Recent hands-on litigation experience required; candidates whose experience has primarily involved case management without deposition or motion practice are unlikely to be a fit.

Responsibilities

• Manage substantive aspects of civil litigation matters from initial pleadings through trial preparation.
• Draft complaints, answers, briefs, motions, oppositions, and other persuasive legal filings.
• Develop and execute written discovery strategies and respond to complex discovery requests.
• Take and defend depositions of parties, witnesses, experts, and other key participants.
• Research and argue law and motion issues independently.
• Work closely with experts and develop evidence supporting liability, damages, coverage, and other case issues.
• Prepare matters for mediation, hearings, arbitration, and trial.
• Develop case strategy and collaborate with attorneys and support professionals on complex plaintiff-side matters.
• Maintain direct involvement in cases involving insurance claims, property losses, wildfire disputes, mass torts, and related litigation.
