Job Description

Business Civil Litigation Attorney (Full-Time) – Hybrid Remote

The Law Office of Parag L. Amin, P.C. (“LawPLA”) is a fast-growing business litigation and employment defense firm seeking an experienced litigation attorney who can step in, take ownership of an active docket, and move matters forward with momentum and precision. This is not a training role. You will be expected to contribute immediately with minimal supervision while collaborating closely with firm leadership and a seasoned support team.

We were recently named a Top-Rated Workplace in Southern California by the Los Angeles Times, and we take culture seriously: high standards, clear accountability, and real support systems that allow strong lawyers to do strong work. You will work in a hybrid environment that respects focus time while keeping collaboration tight, and you will have direct access to firm leadership when decisions need to be made. We also believe in rewarding meaningful contributions through production-based incentives—because we want performance and results to matter here.

In this seat, you will run point on meaningful matters, and you will feel the satisfaction of seeing litigation move because you moved it. You will be trusted with real responsibility, and you will be given the runway to exercise judgment, not just churn tasks. Your drafting will read like it was written by someone who understands both the law and the endgame—tight, persuasive, and calibrated to the posture of the case.

You will manage discovery with discipline and intention, keeping the record clean and the team out of avoidable chaos. You will communicate with clients in a way that earns confidence: clear on risk, clear on options, and clear on what happens next. And you will quickly become an associate the firm can rely on, because you do what you say you will do, you surface issues early, and you keep the work moving without drama, surprises, or last-minute scrambling.

Compensation and Benefits :

• $125,000–$145,000/year (DOE) base salary, plus production bonuses tied to billable-hours performance and matter throughput, with top performers having the opportunity to push past $200,000 in total compensation

• Benefits include health coverage as well as a vacation and paid time off policy to support work-life balance after the probationary period of 90 days is completed

INDIVIDUAL APPLICANTS ONLY. NO AGENCIES. PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE FIRM DIRECTLY. FOLLOW THE APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS JOB POSTING.

• Professional, steady, and high-integrity in all interactions with clients, opposing counsel, courts, and firm staff.
• Strong litigation judgment—able to translate legal leverage into timely, business-sensible outcomes.
• Clear, client-ready communication skills, including the ability to explain risk and strategy without unnecessary heat or ambiguity.

At LawPLA, we foster a culture of growth, collaboration, and excellence. As a rapidly expanding firm, we deliver exceptional legal services while maintaining a supportive, inclusive environment. We invest in our people because strong outcomes require strong systems—and strong teammates.

Clients hire us because business doesn’t wait. Our AgileAffect methodology reflects that: we take a complete view of the client’s business and legal challenge, then execute through a responsive, tech-forward operating model that adapts as matters evolve. That means faster decisions, clear accountability, and a team that keeps work moving. If you thrive where strategy is active, feedback is fast, drafting is excellent, and operations are disciplined, you’ll feel at home here.

Our values—Integrity, Accountability, Proactive, Dependability, Results, Value, Growth, and Service—aren’t slogans; they’re standards that guide how we communicate, protect deadlines, and deliver quality for clients and each other.
