• Conduct legal research regarding applicable statutes, regulations, case law, public entity issues, civil rights claims, government tort liability, and related litigation matters.
• Take and defend depositions, prepare witnesses and clients, and work closely with experts, consultants, and public agency representatives.
• Handle court appearances, hearings, mediations, arbitrations, pre-trial conferences, and trials.
• Develop case strategy and provide clear, practical legal guidance to clients throughout the litigation process.
• Maintain regular communication with clients regarding case status, litigation strategy, risk assessment, and significant developments.
• Monitor changes in law and advise clients regarding potential impact on pending or future matters.

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of civil litigation experience.
• First chair trial experience required.
• Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school.
• Active membership in good standing with the California State Bar.
• Strong knowledge of California civil litigation procedure.
• Experience in California Superior Court and Federal Court preferred.
• Strong motion practice, discovery, deposition, trial preparation, and courtroom advocacy skills.
• Experience with public entity defense, police litigation, civil rights litigation, government tort claims, tort law, contract law, personal injury defense, or municipal law strongly preferred.
• Excellent writing, research, analytical, and oral advocacy skills.
• Ability to manage cases independently while also working collaboratively with clients, attorneys, and support staff.

Compensation and Schedule:

Base Salary: $200,000–$250,000 annually
Billable Requirement: 1,800 hours per year
Schedule: Full-time, hybrid role
