Step into a thriving litigation practice where your work immediately matters. This established defense firm has a deep pipeline of construction defect and insurance defense matters and is adding an Associate Attorney to help meet growing demand. The workload is real, the support is strong, and the autonomy is genuine.

Represented by Mission Recruiting, this opportunity is ideal for a litigator who enjoys ownership of their cases, direct collaboration with partners, and working with sophisticated clients, including nationally recognized insurance carriers.

What You’ll Do

• Handle a caseload focused primarily on construction defect litigation, with exposure to broader insurance defense matters
• Draft pleadings, discovery responses, and dispositive motions with confidence and precision
• Conduct and defend depositions involving experts, contractors, and key witnesses
• Prepare matters for mediation, arbitration, and trial
• Collaborate closely with partners and clients to develop effective litigation strategies
• Maintain strong client relationships through clear communication and case management

What’s Offered

• Base salary range of $150,000 to $170,000, depending on overall background
• Discretionary performance bonuses and origination credit
• Origination bonus equal to 25 percent of fees generated, excluding firm costs
• Unlimited PTO plus nine paid holidays
• Fully remote work arrangement with a flexible schedule
• Annual billable expectation of 1800 hours, with bonuses beginning above that threshold
• Strong paralegal and administrative support

Benefits Snapshot

• Health insurance is fully paid for employees and partially covered for dependents
• Medical plans include Blue Cross PPO or a Blue Cross Select HSA option
• Dental coverage through a Delta Dental PPO
• Vision coverage paid in full
• Life insurance, long-term disability, and additional benefits
• 401(k) eligibility shortly after joining

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a true lifestyle-focused practice. Attorneys are trusted to manage their work, meet their goals, and enjoy flexibility without micromanagement. The firm operates on a fully remote model across California, supports collaboration without rigid schedules, and values long-term stability over burnout.

The practice includes significant work on high-profile matters for major insurance carriers, including nationally recognized rideshare and commercial clients, along with a steady stream of construction defect cases throughout California.

Location Highlights

Work from anywhere in California while staying connected to a statewide practice. Whether you prefer the energy of Southern California, the Bay Area’s innovation-driven culture, or a quieter coastal or inland community, this role offers the flexibility to build your career without relocating.

If you enjoy litigation, value independence, and want to join a firm where attorneys are treated like professionals, this opportunity deserves a closer look. Mission Recruiting is proud to represent this role and can share additional details confidentially.
