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.
