Managing Partner - Senior Trial Attorney (Los Angeles)

Real Estate Litigators: Tired of the BigLaw grind but still want $200M+ disputes? Read on.

Let’s be honest. You didn't spend the last decade masterfully dissecting complex title disputes and saving nine-figure commercial acquisitions just to be treated like a billable-hour robot.

If you are a Real Estate Litigation Partner (or Senior Associate ready for the title) with 8+ years of experience, we’re partnering with a premier, 35-attorney powerhouse in Los Angeles that wants your brain—not just your spreadsheet.

This isn’t a “keep your head down and review documents” gig. This is a Non-Equity Partner role with a completely transparent, mathematically defined path to Equity (where the partners are comfortably clearing seven figures).

What You’ll Be Doing (The Meat & Potatoes)

• Commanding the Room: Leading high-stakes commercial real estate litigation—think $200M+ acquisitions, intricate financing battles, and complex title disputes.
• Full Lifecycle Ownership: Managing high-value cases from inception through trial. You own your strategy.
• Bridging the Gap: Partnering with the transactional real estate group to untangle disputes that require a deep, sophisticated understanding of underlying property law.
• Building an Empire: Cultivating client relationships with full firm backing to grow your own book of business.

Who You Are (The Reality Check)

• A Generalist of Property Law: You aren’t a one-trick pony. You’ve touched acquisitions, finance, and title issues. (Residential-only or small-fry eviction experience won’t cut it here).
• Substantively Deep: If I ask you about the nuance of a motion you wrote three years ago, you can talk about it with passion, not deflection.
• A Precision Wordsmith: You have an active CA Bar membership and a pristine writing sample. Typos are your kryptonite.
• A Collaborative Leader: You actually like mentoring junior associates and bouncing ideas off brilliant peers.

The Perks & Numbers

• Guaranteed Base: $300,000 – $400,000 (depending on your level of brilliance).
• Real Upside: A transparent, mathematical bonus formula that rewards business origination. Non-equity partners here regularly clear mid-$400ks to $500k+.
• The Path: A genuine, politics-free ladder to full Equity Partnership ($1M+).
• The Extras: Firm-paid bar fees, cell phone allowance, 401(k), laptop, and a very generous marketing budget to help you wine and dine clients.
• The Vibe: A hybrid schedule (4 days in the LA office) because this firm actually values real-life camaraderie and collaboration over Zoom fatigue.

Note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
