Some attorneys draft memos. Others try cases. If you belong to the latter group, you’ll feel right at home here.

One of California’s most respected, AV-rated, female-owned defense firms is looking for a true litigator—someone who lives for trial prep, thrives in depositions, and doesn’t flinch at the thought of arguing in court. This firm doesn’t just talk trial; they go to trial. A lot. Their founder tries up to 15 jury trials each year—and you’ll be in the courtroom right alongside her.

What You'll Be Doing:
This is not your average defense gig. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing a full caseload of civil litigation matters, particularly professional and general liability
• Conducting and defending depositions
  
• Drafting pleadings, motions, and briefs that actually get used in court
  
• Making court appearances and delivering arguments
  
• Participating in rapid response litigation events—think on-site accident investigations
  
• Collaborating with seasoned trial attorneys who mentor, not micromanage
  

You’ll Thrive Here If You Have:

• A license to practice in California (Nevada Bar is a plus)
• A minimum of 5 years of litigation experience
• A genuine passion for courtroom advocacy
• Strong writing and oral advocacy skills
• Confidence, presence, and a trial-first mentality
  

Why This Firm?

• Elite courtroom exposure: You’ll work directly with attorneys who are trusted by BigLaw to mentor their own
  
• Trial-forward culture: Associates don’t sit on the sidelines
  
• Female-led and inclusive: Built by trial lawyers who understand the challenges facing women in law
  
• Flexible schedule: Hybrid work model available
  
• Quarterly bonuses for those who exceed 170+ billable hours/month
  
• Generous benefits including 100% paid health, dental, and vision
  
• Unlimited PTO—get your work done, hit your goals, and the rest is flexible
  

Compensation: $110,000 – $200,000 base salary

• Quarterly Bonuses
• 401(k) with 4% match, FSA, CE, mileage/travel reimbursement, and more
  

This is more than a job—it’s a chance to be trained by one of California’s best litigators and potentially step into her shoes as she plans for succession.

Apply today. Your courtroom awaits.

Salary: $110,000 – $200,000
