A bit about us:

Nuclear verdicts have made high-stakes litigation a defining challenge for corporate America. It is why leading companies across industries rely on my client in the toughest disputes and jurisdictions nationwide.

For an associate, that means you will not spend years on the sidelines waiting for a courtroom. Our Orange County team defends complex, high-exposure cases that actually go to trial, with associates taking on critical roles in the outcomes we deliver for clients.

You would be part of a national defense litigation firm that has represented more than half of the Fortune 500 and has over 250 attorneys and professionals in 19 offices across 14 states. The firm was recently identified as a top law firm for associates and distinguished for activities that drive job satisfaction in BTI Consulting's 2026 Associate Satisfaction A-Listers Survey of Law Firms Where Associates are Happiest.

Core defense litigation work in the Orange County office

General liability, transportation, construction, premises liability, product liability, professional liability, toxic tort, and environmental litigation for clients ranging from global corporations to local businesses.

Why join us?
