Job Description
Salary range: $250K - $300K
Location: Santa Monica, Los Angeles, CA, Lipstick Building, Midtown East, New York, NY
Hybrid work policy: 3 days in-office in Santa Monica, LA or Lipstick Building, NYC (flexible — some attorneys are 2 days; fully remote considered for the right person)
About this roleWe are looking for a Senior Litigator with 10+ years of experience to handle commercial and entertainment litigation matters at a top-ranked boutique law firm. This is an opportunity to join a highly profitable, entrepreneurial platform where you can service existing firm clients while building your own practice — with significant origination compensation upside and a clear path to partnership.
What will you be doing?
- Handling all levels of commercial and entertainment litigation in California and/or New York state and federal courts from client intake through trial
- Working collaboratively with the 8-9 person litigation department in New York, with ready-to-go staff support from day one
- Servicing existing firm clients (particularly in music/entertainment) while leveraging Reitler's platform to grow your own book of business
- Taking a leadership role as the first litigator in the LA office or bolstering the NY litigation team
- Drafting pleadings, briefs, settlement agreements, mediation statements, and handling trial preparation
Key Requirements
- Admitted to the California Bar (for LA) or New York Bar (for NY) — non-negotiable
- Entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to be a self-starter, especially if joining the LA office as the first litigator
- Proven commercial litigation experience; entertainment or IP litigation background is ideal
- Portable business of $1M–$1.5M preferred, but candidates with smaller books or strong business development potential will be considered
- Lateral hire with substantial experience — must be able to hit the ground running without extensive training
