A bit about us:

Founded over a decade ago and based in El Segundo, we are a business and real estate law firm serving individuals, families, and businesses across Los Angeles and the South Bay. Our work spans both litigation and transactional matters, including business disputes, real estate, trusts and estates, and probate. Many of our clients are business owners or families caught up in complex disputes, so no two cases look the same, and that keeps the work genuinely interesting. We believe in doing focused, efficient work during the day rather than burning people out on nights and weekends. And we like each other, too. Regular firm events, vendor hosted lunches, and community service projects throughout the year are all part of who we are.

Why join us?

• 401(k) with Generous Match: 100% match on the first 3% and 50% on the next 2%
• Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, with the firm covering 75% of the base HMO plan
• Flexible PTO & 9 Paid Holidays
• Collaborative Work Environment: Each attorney is paired with a dedicated paralegal and an overseeing partner, so you're never working in a silo
