Associate Attorney

$100k - $185k

MBK Chapman PC

Job Description

Job Description

Our growing homeowner-side HOA and business law firm is seeking a sharp, proactive associate attorney to join our team.

This role is ideal for an attorney who excels at early case evaluation, issue spotting, and strategic client guidance, especially in the pre-litigation stage of the case.

The ideal candidate is highly analytical, solution-oriented, and comfortable taking ownership of client matters from intake through resolution. Litigation experience is a plus, but not required.

This firm is recognized and highly respected throughout California as a leader in one of its niche areas of the law. We embrace cutting-edge legal technology and administrative support, so you can focus on what you do best.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct detailed case intake, factual investigation, and early-stage legal analysis
  • Identify key legal issues, risks, and strategic opportunities at the outset of disputes
  • Advise clients on pre-litigation strategy, exposure, and potential outcomes
  • Draft demand letters
  • Draft mediation briefs
  • Draft settlement agreements
  • Attend mediations with clients
  • Work with clients to resolve disputes before involving the courts
  • Analyze governing documents (including CC&Rs), and applicable statutes
  • Develop case strategies designed to position clients for early, favorable resolution
  • Coordinate with the litigation team where matters escalate

Qualifications

  • Strong analytical and issue-spotting abilities
  • Strong writing skills
  • Experience with real estate, HOA, or business disputes is a plus but not required
  • Litigation experience is a plus, but not required

Compensation

$100,000 – $185,000 (depending on experience)

Monthly performance bonuses —your hard work is recognized, rewarded, and appreciated. We have a modest monthly billable requirement and reward you for billed time that exceeds the minimums. Yet you won't have to wait until the end of the year to receive the benefits of your hard work.

  • Comprehensive benefits package: 401(k), health insurance, vacation, and more.
