Job description

We are seeking a junior to mid-level associate to join our health care transactional team, which represents some of the most sophisticated clients in the health care industry. Many team members work primarily remotely, and there is no requirement for regular in-office attendance. Candidates, however, should be licensed in California and located in or near Los Angeles, San Francisco, or San Diego. Our busy and growing practice serves the business and regulatory needs of health care providers and suppliers, including large health systems, private and publicly traded post-acute care providers, physicians and medical groups, and emerging companies such as those providing digital health services across the continuum of care. In addition to offering meaningful and substantive work focused on advancing health care delivery, advocating for health policy reform, and improving patient outcomes, we offer our associates unparalleled support in developing substantive expertise in health law. We have a proven track record of recruiting, developing, and advancing lateral associate hires to the firm’s highest levels.

Ideal candidates will demonstrate an ability to (i) communicate effectively with clients and provide clear, concise written legal analysis; (ii) develop a strong understanding of our clients’ business operations, objectives and strategic goals; (iii) provide creative, practical and actionable legal advice and (iv) work collaboratively with other team members, including colleagues who specialize in fraud and abuse investigations, licensing and certification and reimbursement litigation. Prior experience as a health care transactional attorney is not required, but candidates should have level-appropriate experience with complex regulatory regimes or significant transactions.

We pride ourselves on a congenial culture that encourages authentic self-expression, fosters meaningful mentor relationships and champions consequential pro bono projects. As proof of our commitment, we provide attorneys with billable hour credit for work that advances our diversity, equity and inclusion and pro bono efforts.

The salary range for this position is $205,000 to $375,000 annually, and actual salary is commensurate with a candidate’s qualifications and experience. We also offer a comprehensive benefits package and opportunities for discretionary bonuses.
