Talent Search PRO

Job Description

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 role

We 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

Role responsibilities

Work on commercial and entertainment litigation matters

Collaborate with litigation attorneys in New York

Handle all levels of litigation in California/New York state and federal courts

Draft pleadings, briefs, letters, settlement agreements, memoranda, stipulations, and mediation statements

Assist California and New York litigation department

Take a leadership role in Reitler’s growing LA and NY presence

Salary

$250K - $300K ($250K-$300K base salary with a guaranteed $50K bonus at 1,600 billable hours. Additional significant compensation for collections on your own clients above $500K (up to ~30%+ of originations). Total comp can reach $600K+ for attorneys with a $1M-$1.5M portable book.)
