Job Description

Bankruptcy Trial Attorney (Civil Litigation)

** Location:** Irvine, CA (Onsite, Remote, or Hybrid)

** Compensation:** $175,000 – $270,000 (DOE)

** Position Type:** Direct Hire / Full-Time

** About the Firm: We Don't Settle. We Litigate.**

Most firms build cases to settle; we build them to win at trial. From the moment an engagement is signed, every strategy, motion, and discovery request is crafted with the courtroom in mind. We are a results-oriented civil litigation firm in Irvine that thrives on advocacy, not polite negotiation.

** The Billable Hour is Dead.** We have eliminated minimum billing requirements. We believe an attorney’s best work is fueled by client advocacy and strategic outcomes, not by hitting an arbitrary numerical quota. If you are a "true believer" in the right to trial, you will find your home here.

** The Role**

We are seeking a seasoned Trial Attorney specializing in Bankruptcy (Chapters 7, 11, and 13) to lead complex personal and corporate matters. You will not be a "paper-pusher"—you will be the lead advocate in the courtroom.

** Key Responsibilities:**

• ** Trial Strategy:** Engineering every case for trial from day one of the client engagement.
• ** Advanced Litigation:** Drafting high-stakes pleadings, motions, and briefs.
• ** Discovery & Procedure:** Conducting depositions, mediations, and Mandatory Settlement Conferences (MSC).
• ** Legal Research:** Utilizing LexisNexis to perform deep-dive research into complex statutes and legal precedents.
• ** Courtroom Advocacy:** Frequent court appearances and lead representation in bankruptcy litigation.

** What Sets You Apart**

• ** The Trial Mindset:** You aren't looking for the easiest path to a settlement; you are looking for the most effective path to a verdict.
• ** Bankruptcy Expertise:** Proven experience navigating the complexities of Chapter 7, 11, and 13 filings for both individuals and corporations.
• ** Technical Savvy:** We are an Apple Business Environment. You should be comfortable working on Macs, iPads, and iPhones, and proficient with Clio practice management software.
• ** Critical Thinking:** Superior research skills and an obsessive attention to detail.
• ** Client-Centric:** Personable, empathetic, and able to put clients at ease during high-stress litigation.

** Culture & Benefits**

• ** Collaborative Environment:** We operate as a team. Matters are worked on collectively by attorneys and paralegals to ensure the best outcome.
• ** Strategic Growth:** Weekly catered strategy lunches to discuss open matters and brainstorm tactics.
• ** Continuous Training:** Regular in-house training sessions on advanced deposition techniques, questioning, and trial prep.
• ** Flexibility:** We trust our team. This role is open to onsite, hybrid, or fully remote arrangements for the right candidate.
