About the Role
This is a full-ownership litigation role within a civil defense practice group, focused on general liability matters across California. You'll carry your own caseload — not just support senior attorneys — with a defined path to senior associate, of counsel, and partner.
What You'll Do
Manage a full caseload of general liability defense matters, including premises liability, personal injury, and casualty defense.
Draft and respond to motions, complaints, and written discovery.
Attend and defend depositions, court hearings, and client meetings.
Assist with mediation and trial preparation.
Meet an annual billing target of approximately 1,950 hours, with quarterly bonus opportunities.
What We're Looking For
Active California bar license in good standing (required).
JD from an ABA-approved law school.
2–8 years of defense-side civil litigation experience; plaintiff-side experience will not be considered.
Hands-on experience with the full litigation lifecycle: discovery drafting, depositions, court appearances, and case management.
Demonstrated ability to manage 25+ active cases simultaneously and work independently.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Westlaw, and LexisNexis.
Trial or mediation experience is a plus.
No book of business required.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $130,000–$170,000 USD annually, plus quarterly bonus opportunities. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Location
Fully remote within the United States; primary location is Los Angeles, CA. California-based candidates or those available during Pacific hours are preferred. Hybrid work in California offices (Los Angeles, San Diego, or San Francisco) is also an option.
