A bit about us:

Founded over a decade ago and based in El Segundo, we are a business law firm serving companies, business owners, and families throughout Los Angeles and the South Bay. Our litigation team handles a wide range of business disputes, from contract and partnership fights to noncompete, employment, and IP matters. Many of our clients are owners or family members in the middle of complicated, high stakes conflicts, so the work calls for real strategy and creativity rather than a one size fits all playbook. We believe in focused, efficient work during the day instead of late nights and weekends as the norm. Outside of the casework, you'll find regular firm events, vendor hosted lunches, and community service projects throughout the year.

Why join us?

• Competitive Compensation: Up to $260K+ base salary (DOE) + Bonuses
• Quarterly and Annual Bonuses: Earn up to $30,000 in annual bonuses plus quarterly bonuses of up to $12,500, and you can qualify for both
• Origination Upside: 10% referral commission on any work you bring in that's billed and collected, paid quarterly
• 401(k) with Generous Match: 100% match on the first 3% and 50% on the next 2%
• Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, with the firm covering 75% of the base HMO plan
• Flexible PTO & 9 Paid Holidays
• Collaborative Work Environment: Each attorney is paired with a dedicated paralegal and an overseeing partner, so you're never working in a silo
• Work Life Balance: Annual billable requirement of just 1,500 hours
• Fully Remote or Hybrid out of El Segundo, with free parking
