About Equity Legal LLP

Equity Legal LLP has been an established presence in San Diego real estate law for over a decade. Homeowners, investors, brokers, and referring attorneys throughout the county bring us their property disputes and complex transactions. We handle both sides of real estate law: litigation from pre-demand through trial, and the purchases, leases, and agreements that keep our clients' properties moving forward.

What You Will Own

• Litigation Calendar: Accurately tracking, verifying, and managing court dates, statutory deadlines, and filing schedules.
• Court Filings & Service: Preparing and executing e-filings, coordinating service of process, and resolving court rejections smoothly.
• Discovery Support: Finalizing responses, organizing exhibits, handling Bates stamping, and overseeing document productions.
• Transactional Support: Assisting with purchase and workout agreements, escrow coordination, and recording documents.
• Communication: Professional interaction with clients, opposing counsel, courts, and vendors.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: Strong California litigation experience, ideally combined with exposure to real estate matters.
• Composure & Focus: Ability to stay calm, clear-headed, and organized around court deadlines.
• Autonomy: Strong self-organization skills with the ability to manage your caseload independently without needing hourly oversight.
• Work Quality: High attention to detail and personal pride in sending out work that is accurate the first time.

Technology & Modern Workflows

We leverage modern legal tools, including Clio, InfoTrack, and AI-assisted workflows, actively integrated into our daily practice. You do not need to be a technologist, but you need to be tech-forward, open to learning new platforms, and willing to work alongside software designed to eliminate repetitive administrative burdens.

What We Offer

• Compensation: $85,000 – $105,000 per year, depending on experience, paid semi-monthly.
• Benefits: Comprehensive health coverage and paid time off.
• Flexibility: Work from home as your default, with occasional days in one of our offices.
• Room to grow: You are joining as we invest in new tools and a bigger vision for the practice. The person in this seat helps shape it and grows with it.
