About this position

Must be actively licensed to practice law in California to be considered for this position

Join Castaneda & Co., where our innovative approach and deep legal analysis define our success in real estate litigation. You'll be part of a dynamic team that thrives on collaboration and outsmarting larger firms with original thinking. As a Real Estate Litigation Attorney, you'll play a crucial role in handling complex residential purchase disputes and commercial lease conflicts. We value continuous learning and believe that great lawyers are made through experience and dedication. In our supportive environment, we encourage growth and provide honest feedback to help you excel.

Who We Are

We are highly specialized California real estate lawyers. Although there are many real estate practice areas, we only focus on two. First, we represent homebuyers in litigation against sellers and the real estate agents for both parties. Second, we represent small business owners in commercial lease litigation against landlords.

If you want to go after the bad guys and the obstructionist insurance defense lawyers who protect them, then this David-versus-Goliath law firm is for you.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for attorneys who want to constantly improve. That means that you want to master legal writing, depositions, and jury trials. You must have the drive to spend 20 hours a week improving your skill set so that you have the ability to win jury verdicts. We are looking for lawyers who will happily put in 15 to 20 hours a week reading books and taking the clinics below after being hired.

How You Will Get Better
