• Significant bonus opportunity
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off and holidays
• 401(k)
• Long-term growth potential within a highly successful plaintiff-side practice

This position is based in Newport Beach, California. While the firm prefers regular onsite attendance, a hybrid schedule may be considered for a strong candidate.
