A bit about us:

Founded over a decade ago and based in El Segundo, we are a South Bay law firm handling business, real estate, and trust and probate matters for companies, developers, lenders, trustees, and families across Southern California. Our litigation team covers everything from partnership disputes and commercial lease fights to quiet title actions and trust contests, and we take a hands-on, individualized approach to every case. We’re small enough that people actually know each other, but our work carries the scope and complexity you’d expect from a much larger firm. Our attorneys are regularly recognized by Super Lawyers, and we’re proud of the reputation we’ve built in the community.

Why join us?

• 401(k) with Generous Match: 100% match on the first 3% and 50% on the next 2%, eligible after one year
• Comprehensive Benefits: Medical through Blue Shield with the firm covering 75% of the base HMO plan, plus Dental and Vision through -Principal, eligible the 1st of the month after 60 days
• Generous PTO and 9 Paid Firm Holidays
• Direct Attorney Partnership: Paralegals support attorneys on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis, so you’ll work closely with your attorneys and really own your cases
• Collaborative Work Environment: A close knit litigation team focused on business, real estate, and trust and estate disputes
