Description du poste

WSHB is looking for attorneys to fill positions in its growing Sonoma County office. Whether recently licensed or several years into your career, the firm's Sonoma County office is looking for professionals who would thrive in a friendly, collaborative environment dedicated to the ethical and enjoyable practice of law. Our office focuses on civil defense litigation in a wide variety of practice areas, including personal injury, intellectual property, commercial litigation, and more. We also have a large appellate practice, which touches on any number of additional practice areas. We are fiercely committed to a healthy work-life balance, to providing meaningful opportunities to newer licensees, and to otherwise offering a supportive and meaningful work environment. Attorneys are welcome to work from home as much or as little as they like, subject to certain limited exceptions when necessary to further the interests of clients or to provide in person training and support.

Candidates must have a California law license and have at least two years of civil litigation experience. Reasonable proximity to Sonoma County is preferred, but candidates in the greater Bay Area are welcome to apply if coming into the Sonoma County office on occasion would be reasonably doable.

As the ‘go to’ litigation firm for dozens of domestic and international insurance carriers, as well as many large private clients, WSHB attorneys handle a wide-spectrum of matters. On a daily basis, associates work closely with lead attorneys on all phases of litigation, from rapid response investigations following catastrophic losses, case evaluation and reporting, discovery and depositions, through trial presentation, with an emphasis on strategic thinking to meet client objectives. Excellent research and writing skills are a must. Join an innovative firm and team of attorneys with a reputation for professional excellence that offer the flexibility and casualness of the modern legal practice.
