We are looking for a Litigation Associate with 4+ years of broad-based litigation experience to join a dynamic, full-service California law firm where you'll get early exposure to substantive work, client relationships, and business development opportunities that larger firms simply don't offer.
What will you be doing?
Taking and defending depositions and arguing motions
Preparing cases for trial and chairing cases with significant autonomy
Handling commercial litigation matters including breach of contract, tortious interference, and breach of fiduciary duty
Developing client relationships and building your own book of business with firm support
Collaborating with partners across practice areas including real estate, land use, trusts and estates, and IP litigation
Key Requirements
4+ years of broad-based litigation experience with hands-on deposition and motion practice experience
Admission to the California Bar
Strong academic record from a reputable law school
Demonstrated stability — candidates with frequent job changes (under 2 years per role) will face scrutiny
Ability to articulate substantive litigation experience (depositions, chairing cases, trial prep) — not just big firm paper-pushing
