Mission Recruiting is excited to partner with a highly respected Civil Litigation firm specializing in the defense of healthcare professionals to present this outstanding remote opportunity. If you’re a California-licensed Attorney with a passion for medical malpractice defense or civil litigation and a drive to manage complex cases from inception through trial preparation, this could be the next step in your career.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Fully remote role: Enjoy the flexibility to work from anywhere in the U.S. while maintaining the ability to appear in California courts as needed.
- No formal billable hour requirement: Focus on quality advocacy with a sustainable workload (typically 150-200 hours/month), promoting true work-life balance.
- Exceptional benefits: The firm covers 100% of health, dental, and vision insurance for employees, offers generous life and disability coverage, unlimited paid time off, 401(k) with profit sharing, tuition reimbursement, wellness programs, and more.
- Growth and mentorship: Work alongside a team of experienced litigators with a proven track record in high-exposure and high-profile cases. Many former associates have advanced to in-house counsel roles or partnership positions at prestigious organizations.
- Positive, collaborative culture: Join a close-knit team that values professional development, continued education, and recognizes employee achievements. Access to the Santa Monica office is available for in-person meetings or collaboration.
- Impactful work: Represent physicians, hospitals, and healthcare professionals in meaningful cases that shape the landscape of medical malpractice and professional liability law.
Your Role
- Manage a diverse caseload of civil litigation and employment defense matters, with an emphasis on medical malpractice.
- Handle cases from initial intake through trial preparation, including discovery, depositions, drafting dispositive motions, and developing case strategies.
- Collaborate with senior attorneys and partners, participate in client meetings, and appear in court as necessary.
- Demonstrate exceptional legal writing skills through memos, summaries, and pleadings.
What We’re Looking For
- Some civil litigation experience.
- Strong writing and communication skills are essential.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
- Willingness to travel to court in California when required.
Salary Range: $130,000 - $200,000 depending on experience and qualifications, plus bonus potential
